Thank you for having the manual I needed for an older model Aiwa stero I had found on Ebay --- I wanted the Aiwa because I had tapes and cd's but I did not have a manual as to how to operate the system... I found what I needed and it has enabled me to set the system up for my enjoyment.
The manual was very helpfull, it answerdes all my questions, and i was surprized to find the original manual on this site! Big thumbs uP:)

FRAME IMAGE OUTPUT WITH STROBE LIGHT
A full frame image with vertical resolution of 485 lines (XC-ST50/ST30) or 575 lines (XC-ST50CE/ST30CE) can be obtained with a strobe light by firing the strobe when the exposure time of the two fields overlap.
� Timing and conditions
<Timing chart by restart/reset>
EXT HD
Continuous signal: 15.734 kHz (XC-ST50/ST30), 15.625 kHz (XC-ST50CE/30CE) Allowable frequency value ±1%
EXT VD
VD: XC-ST50/ST30 (1/60 sec), XC-ST50CE/30CE (1/50 sec) Four or more VD pulses are required.
Strobe light
Exposure time for Odd field Exposure time for Even field
Video output
Odd image Invalid image Even image
Valid frame image
Odd and even fields are determined by the phase of the EXT HD/VD signal input from the outside. Avoid lighting the scene during the light-emitting inhibit zone defined below. (The field is transfered to the storage area of the CCD, so it can be read out.)
Note
: For best performance, it is recommended not to flash between VD and VD + 10H (XC-ST50/ST30)/ 16H (XC-ST50CE/ST30CE).
