Safety precautions  
Cleaning the Unit  
2CAUTION  
NOTE  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
• The illustrations of the display and the panel  
appearing in this manual are examples used  
to explain more clearly how the controls are  
used. Therefore, what appears on the display  
in the illustrations may differ from what  
appears on the display on the actual  
equipment, and some of the illustrations on  
the display may represent something  
impossible in actual operation.  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit does not seem to be working right,  
try pressing the reset button first. If that does  
not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood  
dealer.  
To prevent damage to the machine,  
take the following precautions:  
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative  
12V DC power supply.  
2CAUTION  
Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a  
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as  
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch  
the surface of the panel and/or cause the  
indicator letters to peel off.  
• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the  
unit.  
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to  
direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.  
Also avoid places with too much dust or the  
possibility of water splashing.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive  
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one  
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with  
the wrong rating may cause your unit to  
malfunction.  
Cleaning the CD Slot  
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,  
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can  
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD  
slot.  
• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the  
faceplate and the unit.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided. If you use the wrong  
screws, you could damage the unit.  
Reset button  
Lens Fogging  
• The functions that can be used and the  
information that can be displayed will differ  
depending on the external disc players being  
connected.  
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold  
weather, dew or condensation may form on  
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called  
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.  
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait  
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit  
still does not operate normally after a while,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.

Notes on playing MP3 files  
This unit can play MP3 files.  
Note, however, that the MP3 file recording media and  
formats acceptable are limited.  
When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following  
restrictions.  
Entering file and folder names  
When entering file and folder names, use alphanumeric characters  
only. If entered with any other character, the file and folder names are  
not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly  
depending on the CD writer used.  
Note that the unit cannot display ID tags even though they have been  
embedded in MP3 files.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 files which have the  
MP3 filename extension (.MP3). MP3 files should therefore be saved  
with the MP3 extension.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3 file recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,  
CD-R, and CD-RW.  
Acceptable medium formats  
Writing files into a medium  
The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660 Level 1 and  
Level 2 excluding the extended formats. When reading an MP3 file  
written in a format other than ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, the unit  
may fail to play the file normally or display the file or folder name  
correctly.  
The major specifications of ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 are as  
follows:  
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 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts  
playing MP3 files.  
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 files or unneeded folders along with  
MP3 files on the medium.  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
2CAUTION  
• Maximum number of files and folders per directory level:  
253 (files and folders in total)  
When playing MP3 files on a medium which also contains non-  
MP3 files or folders, observe the following precautions. Loading  
such a medium may produce loud noise to break the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file  
with the MP3 extension.  
• Characters available to file and folder names:  
A - Z, 0 - 9, _(underscore)  
• Maximum number of characters in file names:  
Level 1 : 12 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)  
Level 2 : 31 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)  
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 files as long as they  
have the MP3 extension.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3 file.  
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.  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 files up to the maximum  
disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty  
disk up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.

Notes on playing MP3 files  
MP3 file playing order  
4
When a file search is executed with file  
being played ...  
When selected for play, folder search, file search, or for folder select,  
files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written  
by the CD writer.  
Because of this, the order in which they are to be recorded does not  
match the order in which they are played. You may be able to set the  
order in which MP3 files are to be played by writing them onto a  
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play  
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.

Handling Compact discs  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not  
listening to them for a while, and put them  
back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that  
are removed from their cases or prop them  
against something.  
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or  
warped can cause the sound to skip  
and the unit to operate incorrectly,  
resulting in worsened sound quality.  
Take the following precautions to  
prevent your CDs from getting  
scratched or damaged.  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may  
damage the surface of the CD if you try  
pulling it down as it ejects.  
Cleaning CDs  
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently  
using a commercially available cleaning cloth  
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the  
center of the disc and moving outward. Do  
not clean CDs with conventional record  
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals  
such as paint thinner or benzene.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD  
(the side opposite the label) when holding it.  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this  
unit and do not use any special shape CDs.  
Use of special shape CDs may cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is  
more fragile than that on an ordinary music  
CD, and may peel off if scratched.  
Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also  
more likely to cause skipping when the disc  
is played. For these reasons, handle the disc  
very carefully.  
Detailed handling instructions will appear on  
the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this  
information carefully before using the disc.  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
When playing a new CD for the first time,  
check that there are not any burrs stuck to  
the perimeter of the disc or in the central  
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not  
load properly or may skip while playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
• Do not use any CD which does not bear one  
of the following marks:  
•CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not  
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.  
undergone finalization processing cannot be  
played. (For more information on finalization  
processing, refer to the manual for your CD-  
R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW  
recorder.) Additionally, depending on the  
recording status, it may prove impossible to  
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.  
Burrs  
Tape  
Burrs  
Storing CDs  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct  
sunlight (such as a car seat or the  
dashboard) or other hot places. A CD-R or  
CD-RW is more susceptible than a music CD  
to damage from high temperatures and  
humidity, and in some cases, may become  
unusable if left in the car for long periods of  
time.  
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labeled Side  
Do not use the CD with the label sticker  
stuck on it.  
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be  
deformed and the sticker to peel off,  
resulting in malfunction of the unit.  
Do Not Load CD Accessories  
Do not use commercially available CD  
accessories that can be loaded into the CD  
slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or  
CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the  
unit to malfunction.
