This document is a service manual for the Aiwa XR-M120 compact disc stereo system, identified by S/M Code No. 09-009-426-2S1. It is noted as a "Supplement" that replaces the "Simple Manual" XR-M120(HC) (S/M Code No. 09-008-432-5T3). The manual also indicates that it contains information about the differences between the XR-M120(HC) and XR-M130(HR) models, and for other information, users should refer to the service manual of the XR-M130(HR) (S/M Code No. 09-007-426-2R2).
The device is a compact disc stereo system, incorporating a basic tape mechanism and a basic CD mechanism. The basic tape mechanism is specified as a 2ZM-1 R8NF, while the basic CD mechanism is a 3ZG-3 E2NF. The system comes with a remote controller, model RC-AAT11.

Maintenance Features:
The manual provides detailed electrical main parts lists for various components, including ICs, transistors, diodes, and capacitors, categorized by their location on the main C.B., front C.B., CD C.B., PT C.B., and Tuner C.B. This allows for precise identification and replacement of faulty components during servicing. Wiring diagrams (Main, Tuner, Front/Relay/Deck, CD/CD Load/CD Drive, PT) and schematic diagrams (Main/Relay, Tuner, Front/Deck, CD/CD Load/CD Drive, PT) are included to guide technicians through the internal connections and circuit layouts. Mechanical exploded views for the main unit and tape mechanism are also provided, along with corresponding mechanical parts lists, to facilitate disassembly, reassembly, and replacement of mechanical components. The inclusion of a "Color Name Table" helps in identifying wiring colors for easier maintenance.
