discs.

This unit is suitable for the NTSC/PAL format.

Discs recorded with other television format (SECAM) cannot be played back with this unit.

CD-R and CD-RW

The CD-R and CD-RW records digital data of music CD or other source without compression so it can be

played back at equivalent high quality to commercially marketed CDs.

This unit cannot playback a CD-R or CD-RW which has not been finalized.

This unit cannot play other data than audio signal data, such as data signal in a CD-ROM. When a disc containing

various data, for example a CD Graphic or CD-TEXT is loaded in the unit, the unit cannot play other data than the

audio signal data.

In addition to the above, this unit may also be incapable of playing certain CD-R or CD-RW discs depending on the

recording characteristics of recording equipment (including the pickup), properties of the CD-R or CD-RW in use, its

recording condition and so on.

MP3 files

Check to ascertain that MP3 files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them

onto the media.

Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

MP3 files on which the session has not been closed or finalized cannot be played back with this unit.

There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3 files and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the

same media.

Explanation of terms

VIDEO CD

This is a CD with recorded moving images. By compressing the video information to 1/120 and the audio information to

1/6, recording of up to 74 min is possible on discs with the same 12 cm diameter as general audio CDs.

Two types of discs are being marketed (without PBC) for simple playback and (with PBC) with menus and special

playback (playback control). This unit can be used for playback of VIDEO CDs of both types.

Playback of MP3 file

This unit can play MP3 file.

Please refer to the "Important notes on the MP3 file" below before playback of MP3 file.

What is MP3?

MP3istheabbreviationof"MPEG1AudioLayer3". MPEGAudioisacompressionspecificationthatcompressestheaudio

portion only. This audio compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into

about 1/10.

Important notes on the MP3 file

Acceptable medium

The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660. (The maximum total number of folders which can be

recognized by this unit is 63 and the total number of files is 255.)

When entering file and folder names, use alphanumeric characters only.

This unit recognized and plays only MP3 file which have the MP3 filename extension (.MP3).

Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer

When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, set the transfer bit rate of the encoder to

fixed 128 kbps (Constant Bit Rate).

Sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

When you use your CD writer to record MP3 file, check Disc at once.

Sequence of playing MP3 files

MP3 files will be played in the sequence that the writing software had recorded. Therefore, it may be different between

the sequence that you want to record and the sequence of playing. For some writing software, input "01" ~ "99", for

example, before the file names in the sequence of playing and then record into a CD-R, etc, sometimes you may setup

the sequence of playing.

Writing files onto a medium

When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot

of folders or non-MP3 file, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3 file. In addition, it may take time

for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a file search or folder search may not be performed smoothly.You should not

write non-MP3 file or unneeded folders along with MP3 file on the medium.

ID3 TAG display

ID3TAG display is available only during MP3 playback. It allows you to see the song title and the artist name (maximum of

30 characters each).

ID3TAG display is available when you press theTIME DISPLAY key.

If the MP3 disc has ID3 TAG data (Version 1.1), song title and artist name will be displayed on theTV screen and also

scrolls across the display.

If the MP3 disc does not have ID3TAG or English data, "UNKNOWN" scrolls across the display.

Kenwood is not responsible for playability of MP3 in any case due to recording condition such as PC perfor-

mance, writing software, media ability or etc.

When playing a MP3 file, the display of the track time might not increase consistently.

shock to them.

Maintenance of the unit

In regard to contact cleaner

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a

soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc.

for these agents may cause discoloration.

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a mal-

function. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners

containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.

Disc handling precautions

Handling

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the

player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or

deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive

agent. Please do not use discs which are not round be-

cause they may cause malfunction.

Hold the disc so that you do not touch the

playing surface.

cause malfunction.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time,

remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has finished, break the

safety tab to prevent the recorded contents from being

erased or recorded on accidentally.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and

wind the reel hub to remove the slack.

For A side

For B side

To re-record

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage

the mechanism of the unit.

Apply tape only to the position where the tab

has been removed.

Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute

recording time, for the tape used in such a cas-

sette is very thin and tends to cause problem

such as entanglement around the pinch roller or

could be easily cut off.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store tapes in places which are subjected to di-

rect sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.

Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

In most cases it is an infringement of copyright to make copies of tapes or discs without the permission

of the copyright owners. Anyone wishing to copy commercially available tapes or disc should contact
