•If a microphone is held too near the speakers, a howling sound may be produced. In this case, hold the microphone away from the speakers, or decrease the microphone volume.

•If sound through the microphone is extremely loud, it may be distorted. In this case, decrease the microphone volume.

Recommended microphones

Use of unidirectional type microphones is recommended to prevent howling. Contact your local Aiwa dealer for details.
