CAUTION on Volume Setting  
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for  
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the  
volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.  
BEFORE USE  
*For safety....  
*Temperature inside the car....  
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will  
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.  
• Stop the car before performing any complicated  
operations.  
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or  
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car  
becomes normal before operating the unit.

SOUND ADJUSTMENTS  
Adjusting the sound  
What is BBEII?  
You can adjust the sound characteristics to your  
preference.  
The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and  
clarity of the original live sound in recording,  
broadcasts, etc.  
1 Select the item you want to adjust.  
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces  
frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing  
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach  
the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBEII  
function adjusts the phase relationship between  
the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a  
progressively longer delay time to the low and  
mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the  
listener’s ears at the proper time.

(only for KD-LX333) (balance)  
In addition, the BBEII function boosts low and  
high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be  
less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic,  
program-driven augmentation. When combined  
with the phase compensation feature, the  
resulting sound has a clearer, more finely  
detailed “live” presence.

Playing an external  
component  
Using a subwoofer  
This section is only for KD-LX333.  
When connecting an external component, you  
can select the component as the sound source.  
By connecting a subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER  
OUT plugs on the rear, you can enjoy enhanced  
bass sounds and a more realistic theater  
atmosphere in your car.  
Notes for KD-LX333:  
For the external component connection, see the  
Installation/Connection Manual (separate  
volume).  
• Refer also to the instructions supplied with  
your subwoofer.  
If the input level of the external component  
connected to the LINE INPUT plug is not high  
enough, increase the input level properly.  
Without adjusting the input level, you may be  
surprised at a loud sound when you change the  
source from the external component to another.  
(See “To adjust the line input level –– LINE  
ADJ” on page 21.)  
When a subwoofer is connected to this unit, do  
the following as required.  
To set the subwoofer cutoff frequency, see  
To select the subwoofer cutoff frequency —  
WooferFreq” on page 21.  
To adjust the subwoofer output volume, see  
“Adjusting the sound” on page 15.  
Notes for KD-LX111:  
For connecting the external component, you  
need to use the Line Input Adaptor KS-U57 (not  
supplied). See the Installation/Connection  
Manual (separate volume).  
Before operating the external component using  
the following procedure, select the external  
input correctly. (See “To select the external  
component to use –– EXT INPUT” on page 21.)  
1 Select the external component.  
ATT  
Each time you press the button,  
the source changes as described  
SOURCE  
on page 7.  
2 Operate the external component.

MAINTENANCE  
Handling CDs  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
This unit has been designed to reproduce the  
CDs bearing the following marks.  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave  
the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates.  
COMPACT  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
You can play back your original CD-Rs  
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) on this  
receiver.  
This unit is not compatible with MP3.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs  
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are  
already “finalized.”  
How to handle CDs  
Center holder  
When removing a CD from  
its case, press down the  
center holder of the case and  
lift the CD out, holding it by  
the edges.  
• Always hold the CD by the  
edges. Do not touch its recording surface.  
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert  
the CD around the center holder (with the printed  
surface facing up).  
You can play back your original CD-Rs or  
CD-RWs recorded in music CD format.  
(However, they may not be played back  
depending on their characteristics or recording  
conditions.)  
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played  
back on this unit because of their disc  
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the player’s lens is dirty.  
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after  
use.  
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.  
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance  
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)  
To keep CDs clean  
A dirty CD may not play  
correctly. If a CD does  
become dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To play new CDs  
CAUTIONS:  
New CDs may have some  
rough spots around the  
inner and outer edges. If  
such a CD is used, this  
unit may reject the CD.  
To remove these rough  
spots, rub the edges with a  
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs)  
into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be  
ejected.)  
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat  
source or place them in a place subject to high  
temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in  
a car.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.  
About mistracking:  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely  
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and  
the CD, but will be annoying.  
We recommend that you stop CD play while  
driving on such rough roads.
