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

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

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.

NOTE

• Each virtual folder is displayed with the original folder name

bounded by parentheses " ( ) ". For example, the virtual folder

below the folder named " 4 " is displayed with a name of " (4) ".

The file name of each virtual folder is displayed with up to 29

characters (in the ISO 9660 Level 2 format) or 10 characters (in

the ISO 9660 Level 1 format), excluding the binding

parentheses.

• The FM button is disabled in a folder because it has no

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.
