4Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines.

2Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up.

CX-NA303, NSX-A304, NSX-A303 specifications

The Aiwa NSX-A303, NSX-A304, and CX-NA303 are compact stereo systems that gained popularity in the 1990s for their impressive sound quality and user-friendly features. These systems reflect Aiwa's dedication to delivering superior audio experiences while remaining aesthetically pleasing, making them an excellent addition to any home environment.

The NSX-A303 and NSX-A304 models are known for their powerful dual cassette decks, allowing users to easily record and playback tapes, a feature coveted during the height of cassette popularity. These decks support high-speed dubbing, providing efficiency for users wanting to make copies of their favorite tapes. Additionally, both models come with an integrated FM/AM tuner, equipped with preset stations to ensure easy access to a variety of radio channels. Their performance is complemented by a robust equalizer that allows users to customize their sound experience, enhancing bass, midrange, and treble according to personal taste.

A significant technology utilized in these systems is Aiwa's Dynamic Bass Boost, which enhances low-frequency sounds, providing a richer listening experience, especially in music genres that thrive on deep sounds. The loudness control feature further improves audio dynamics at lower volume levels, meanly preserving a full-bodied sound even when the system isn't cranked up to full strength.

On the other hand, the CX-NA303 represents a more modern approach with a focus on CD playback and integrated digital audio capabilities. This system supports various formats, including CD-R and CD-RW, which were essential for the rise of custom music collections in the late 90s. Users appreciated its sleek design with clear LCD display panels showing track information, enhancing usability during playback.

All three models are characterized by their compact form factor, making them suitable for smaller living spaces without sacrificing sound quality. The systems often include remote control functionality, allowing users to navigate through tracks and adjust settings without needing to be right next to the unit.

Overall, the Aiwa NSX-A303, NSX-A304, and CX-NA303 are not just audio players; they represent a blend of nostalgia and technological innovation that cater to both audiophiles and casual listeners alike, ensuring quality sound in a compact design.
