Need help?Do you have a question about the Aiwa NSX-V8000 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the Aiwa NSX-V8000 Compact Disc Stereo System, a comprehensive audio system designed for various listening and recording needs. It features a compact disc player, a stereo tuner, and a dual cassette deck, along with sound adjustment capabilities and options for connecting external equipment.
The NSX-V8000 is a versatile stereo system that allows users to enjoy music from multiple sources. It includes a compact disc player capable of handling multiple discs, a stereo tuner for FM and AM radio reception, and a dual cassette deck for tape playback and recording. The system incorporates several sound enhancement features, such as a graphic equalizer with preset curves (ROCK, POP, CLASSIC), a BBE system for improved high-frequency clarity, and a Super T-BASS system for enhanced low-frequency sound.
For CD playback, the system supports continuous play, random play, and programmed play, allowing users to customize their listening experience. The dual cassette deck enables continuous playback from two tapes and various recording functions, including manual dubbing and synchronized dubbing of entire tapes. The tuner section allows for presetting up to 32 radio stations, making it easy to access favorite broadcasts.
The system also includes a KARAOKE PROGRAMS feature, allowing users to reserve up to 15 tracks to be played after the current track, enhancing entertainment options. Additionally, a sleep timer function is available to automatically turn off the power after a specified period.
The manual provides detailed instructions for setting up the system. This includes connecting the FM and AM antennas, with recommendations for using an outdoor antenna for better FM reception. It also covers connecting the AC cord to a power outlet. Proper placement of the unit is emphasized, ensuring adequate ventilation and avoiding heat sources or moisture. The unique "Front 180° Speaker System" is highlighted, featuring uni-directional speakers and built-in surround speakers pointed inward at 45° angles to provide optimal stereo effect from various listening positions.
Users can fine-tune the audio output using the graphic equalizer, which offers three preset curves: ROCK (powerful sound with emphasized treble and bass), POP (more presence in vocals and midrange), and CLASSIC (enriched sound with heavy bass and fine treble). The BBE system can be activated to enhance high-frequency clarity, with three adjustable levels. The Super T-BASS system provides enhanced low-frequency realism, also with multiple levels. Volume control is available on both the main unit and the remote control. Headphones can be connected to the PHONES jack for private listening, which mutes the speaker output.
The CD player offers flexible playback modes. Continuous play allows discs to play sequentially without interruption. Random play shuffles tracks from a selected disc or all inserted discs. Programmed play enables users to create a playlist of up to 30 tracks from any disc. Tracks can be selected directly using numeric buttons on the remote control.
The dual cassette deck supports continuous playback between two tapes. For recording, users can perform manual dubbing, which allows for precise control over the start point of recording, or synchronized dubbing, which copies an entire tape at normal or high speed. The Dolby NR system is available to reduce tape hiss during playback of Dolby NR-recorded tapes. The programmed edit recording function allows users to record CDs onto tape while checking the remaining time on each side of the tape, ensuring efficient use of tape length.
The tuner allows for automatic and manual tuning of FM and AM stations. Up to 32 preset stations can be stored and recalled directly using numeric buttons on the remote control or by cycling through presets on the main unit.
This feature allows users to reserve a sequence of tracks to be played, which is useful for karaoke sessions or creating custom listening queues. Reserved tracks can be checked, skipped, or cleared.
The sleep timer can be set to automatically turn off the system after a specified duration, ranging from 10 to 240 minutes in 10-minute steps. The remaining time can be checked, and the timer can be canceled.
The system provides various jacks for connecting external devices. VIDEO/AUX jacks allow input of analog sound signals from equipment like turntables, LD players, VCRs, or TVs. A CD DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack enables output of digital sound signals to digital audio equipment such as digital amplifiers, DAT decks, or MD recorders. A SUPER WOOFER jack is available for connecting an optional powered subwoofer to enhance bass output.
The remote control provides comprehensive control over all system functions, including power, volume, source selection, playback controls, sound adjustments, and timer settings. It requires two R6 (size AA) batteries.
The manual advises cleaning the unit only as recommended in the operating instructions. It also provides precautions regarding the AC power cord, emphasizing safe handling and proper routing to prevent damage.
Instructions are given for replacing the batteries in the remote control when the operational distance decreases. It is recommended to remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent electrolyte leakage.
Tips for handling cassette tapes are included, such as breaking off plastic tabs to prevent accidental erasure and covering tab openings with adhesive tape for re-recording. Users are advised against using extremely thin 120-minute or longer tapes due to their fragility and to take up any slack in the tape before use to prevent jamming.
The document lists conditions that require service by a qualified technician, such as damage to the AC power cord or plug, foreign objects or liquid inside the unit, exposure to rain or water, abnormal operation, marked change in performance, or physical damage to the unit or cabinet. Users are explicitly warned not to attempt to service the unit themselves.
The manual explains that moisture may form on the CD pickup lens under certain conditions (e.g., moving from a cold to warm spot, high humidity, or air conditioning). If condensation occurs, the unit may not function normally and should be left for a few hours to dry before attempting operation again.
