chiefchimpy Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi guys and girls, I picked up an Aiwa mini bookshelf system on craigslist for only $20 USD! It looks so cool, and I'm really pleased with it. From what I can gather, this unit was only sold in Japan, so finding a user manual hasn't worked out. Maybe someone out there can help? In tuning AM radio, the digital tuner changes the frequency in increments of 9, instead of one. So if the radio is at 810 AM, the next possible channel I can land on is 819, then 828, then 837 and so on. Interestingly enough, the FM side tunes in increments of .5 so you can tune to 104.55 or 104.50. Is there any way I can tune the AM band to specific frequency I want? I want to tune to 910AM, but can only get 909 or 918! Thanks for any assistance. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefchimpy Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 http://www.free-service-manuals.com/Detailed/21930.html Thanks. Does anyone have experience with "service manuals". Should it provide information contained in a user manual, or just tech details on the mechanism. I'd rather not pay $5 to join just to download some schematics.

That's what I figured. Maybe someone with experience with Japanese radios knows if this kind of tuning is normal? To jump in increments of 9 when tuning?

To jump in increments of 9 when tuning? Looks like this is perfectly normal operation for a Japanese radio. Where US AM stations tune in increments of 10, Japanese are in increments of 9.

salman.sh8 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Dear Ross, I'm looking for this exact model XR MD110. Are you still owing it and would like to sell? Or know any place where I can get it from? Thanks, Salman On 10/12/2009 at 9:17 AM, chiefchimpy said: Hi guys and girls, I picked up an Aiwa mini bookshelf system on craigslist for only $20 USD!
