Your aiwa stereo is not meant to turn of when you turn it up. It is a glitch in the system, where it has been wired wrong, short circuited, or your stereo has been knocked and the wiring has gone wrong. How old is your stereo? If it is over 5 years old, it is most probably just worn out and, unfortunately, needs replacing. If not, what I have already mentioned are most likely cases. If this has happened withing your warranty time limit, you will either get a refund, or a replacement. I hope my answer will have solved your problems. Remeber, I give, as far as I know, legitimate answers. Your aiwa stereo is not meant to turn of when you turn it up.

Your're hotwire (power cable) may not be hooked right or completely. You may have a bad fuse or a loose one.
You might actually have to get up off the couch and walk over to the stereo and press the mute button.
It is important to know what is going on inside of a vehicle. The headlights dim when a stereo is turned on or turned up because power is being drawn away from the lights to the stereo.
I have a 2002 Chevy S-10 pickup and the radio will stay going for about 5 minutes after shutting the truck off. But if I have the door open and turn off the engine the radio instantly is turned off. This is to save on the battery, the radio takes out the battery fast and then not have enough power to start the truck up. I have been there a few times myself.
When your head unit is turned on, the auto-antenna wire sends a signal to your automatic antenna (meaning moves up and down as your HU turns on and off respectively) which moves it up or down. It works in the same way as the Remote Amp Turn-On wire works, which turns your amp on with you HU, then off when you turn your HU off also. Both are usually coloured blue, or blue and white on aftermarket stereo systems.
Replacing a car stereo is not a difficult process. All you need to do is take off the face plate, unscrew the radio, and unhook the wires. Then place the new stereo in, hook up the wires, screw the new stereo in, and replace the face plate.
I just had this problem. i opened my stereo up and found that one of the three small glass fuses was blown. got a new one at radioshack today.
Turn up the lights Turn off the the lights Turn me on Turning me off Turning me on
To hook up stereo speakers in a truck, attach the stereo wiring to the stereo and run it to the speakers. Clip the stereo speakers into the wires and place them in the panel spaces in the truck.
Turn the dimmer switch up. Just kidding I'm sure you looked for that.
The molding around the dash area where the stereo has several hidden screws up under the cross pieces. Remove those and it should pop off. From there the stereo has 4 screws that hold it in place.
On stereos there are two power connections. One that supplies power from the battery and one that supplies it from the ACC position on the key. To not have this happen you can remove the power cable from the acc position and put it on the same connection as the battery power, still going through the fuses. Now when ever you turn on the stereo with the key off the stereo will stay on. One note of warning tho. I have had to jump several cars with dead batteries from this type of setup. So if you walk away from the car remember to turn it off. Another solution is to put a switch in the dash that can be used to turn on power for those times you want it. Just hook the switch up in parallel with the acc power input so when no key is in the acc power will get power from the battery. Then turn it off when you are done. It wont hurt anything if you leave it on and then turn the key on. But if its off and the key is off you also wont run down the battery.
