speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a di-
rection which provides the best reception.
Installation of speakers and positioning of TV
\
1. The magnet in the speaker may cause color irregular-
ity on the TV. Place the speaker farther away from the
TV set.
Assemble
AM loop antenna
2. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be pro-
duced depending on the method how the speakers are
installed. When color irregularities are observed after
the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15
to 30 minutes and turn it on again: The interference
may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of
the TV. If the color irregularities still remain, install the
speakers more apart from the TV.
P
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves pro-
duced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound
even when the stereo unit is turned off. In this case
also, install the speakers more apart from the TV.
Speaker (Right)
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventila-
tion will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
÷ Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation
onto the top of the unit.
÷ Leave a space around the unit (from the largest out-
side dimension including projection) equal or greater
than, shown below.
Top panel : 50 cm
Back panel : 10 cm
÷ Never short-circuit the "+" and "
-
" speaker cords.
NNootteess
÷ If the "+" and "
-" polarity are inverted, the sound will be unnatural with unclear positioning of musical instru-
ments, etc.
÷ Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be
produced or noise may interfere.
÷ Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. If
connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may result.

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

Playback of MP3 file
35
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?
MP3 is the abbreviation of "MPEG1 Audio Layer 3". MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the
audio portion only. This audio compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been com-
pressed into about 1/10.
Important notes on the MP3 file
Acceptable medium
÷CD-RW is not acceptable. Also for CD-R disc, it may not be played according to the type of the disc.
÷The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660. (The maximum total number of directories which can be
recognized by this unit is 512 and the total number of files is 1957.)
÷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.
Applicationsection
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.
Kenwood is not responsible for playability of MP3 in any case due to recording condition such as
PC performance, writing software, media ability or etc.

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection
ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality
or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be
used with this system because they may cause malfunction.
