  • STOP / CLEAR: Stops playback or clears input.

Refer to your Aiwa audio system's original manual for specific function details if needed.

Replace batteries when the remote control's range decreases or it stops responding. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surface or internal components.
