To keep discs clean

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with

alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

a soft cloth in a straight line from center

to edge.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean

discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots

around the inner and outer edges. If

such a disc is used, this unit may reject

the disc.

Connectors

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a

pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in

the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this

case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a

few hours until the moisture has evaporated.

Do not use the following discs:

Single CD (8 cm disc)

Warped disc

How to handle discs

Sticker and

sticker residue

Stick-on label

When removing a disc from its

case, press down the center holder

of the case and lift the disc out,

holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its

recording surface.

Center holder

C-thru Disc (semi-

transparent disc)

Unusual shape

When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the

disc around the center holder (with the printed surface

facing up).

Transparent or semi-transparent

parts on its recording area

• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

• KD-G396/KD-G395: MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words

“file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are

recorded in “folders.”

• KD-G396/KD-G395: While fast-forwarding or

reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear

intermittent sounds.

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the

power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• KD-G396/KD-G395 can only play back files of the

same type as those which are detected first if a disc

includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA

files.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc,

disc play will start from where it had been stopped

previously next time you turn on the power.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for

the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens

inside the unit.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will

be automatically tuned in.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions (missing

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,

warped, etc.).

• When storing a station manually, the previously

preset station is erased when a new station is stored

in the same preset number.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular

CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the

unit.

To keep discs clean

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with

alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

a soft cloth in a straight line from center

to edge.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean

discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots

around the inner and outer edges. If

such a disc is used, this unit may reject

the disc.

• KD-G396/KD-G395 can only play back files of the

same type as those which are detected first if a disc

includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA

files.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc,

disc play will start from where it had been stopped

previously next time you turn on the power.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for

the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens

inside the unit.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will

be automatically tuned in.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions (missing

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,

warped, etc.).

• When storing a station manually, the previously

preset station is erased when a new station is stored

in the same preset number.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular

CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the

unit.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply

with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.

Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on

this product may not be recommended.

To keep discs clean

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with

alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

a soft cloth in a straight line from center

to edge.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean

discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots

around the inner and outer edges. If

such a disc is used, this unit may reject

the disc.

Connectors

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a

pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in

the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this

case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a

few hours until the moisture has evaporated.

Do not use the following discs:

Single CD (8 cm disc)

Warped disc

How to handle discs

Sticker and

sticker residue

Stick-on label

When removing a disc from its

case, press down the center holder

of the case and lift the disc out,

holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its

recording surface.

C-thru Disc (semi-

transparent disc)

Unusual shape

When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the

disc around the center holder (with the printed surface

facing up).

Transparent or semi-transparent

parts on its recording area

reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear

intermittent sounds.

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the

power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• KD-G396/KD-G395 can only play back files of the

same type as those which are detected first if a disc

includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA

files.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc,

disc play will start from where it had been stopped

previously next time you turn on the power.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for

the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens

inside the unit.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will

be automatically tuned in.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions (missing

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,

warped, etc.).

• When storing a station manually, the previously

preset station is erased when a new station is stored

in the same preset number.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular

CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the

unit.

To keep discs clean

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with

alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

a soft cloth in a straight line from center

to edge.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean

discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots

around the inner and outer edges. If

such a disc is used, this unit may reject

the disc.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a

pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Connectors

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in

the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

Do not use the following discs:

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this

case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a

few hours until the moisture has evaporated.

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the

power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply

with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.

Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on

this product may not be recommended.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc,

disc play will start from where it had been stopped

previously next time you turn on the power.

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/

CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs

(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA

formats.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are

used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or

WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will

be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, the previously

preset station is erased when a new station is stored

in the same preset number.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit can only play back files of the same type as

those which are detected first if a disc includes both

audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for

the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens

inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions (missing

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,

warped, etc.).

FM RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of

RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF

(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without

receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking

Reception will not operate correctly.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby

Reception, the volume level automatically changes to

the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower

than the preset level.

• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated

(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is

also activated automatically. On the other hand,

Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated

without deactivating Alternative Frequency

Reception. (See page 14.)

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular

CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the

unit.

• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable

bit rate).

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the

elapsed time display, and do not show the actual

elapsed time. In particular, this difference becomes

noticeable after performing the search function.

• This unit cannot play back the following files:

– MP3 files encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format.

– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.

– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.

– WMA files encoded in lossless, professional, and

voice format.

– WMA files which are not based upon Windows

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

Media Audio.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of

the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists

(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or

2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No

other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the

conditions below:

– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.

– Files which have data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.

• The search function works but search speed is not

next time you turn on the power.

3. CAUTION: Visible and/or invisible class 1M laser radiation when open. Do not view directly with optical instruments.

4. REPRODUCTION OF LABEL: CAUTION LABEL, PLACED OUTSIDE THE UNIT.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Tuner operations

• During SSM search...

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

To keep discs clean

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with

alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

a soft cloth in a straight line from center

to edge.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean

discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots

around the inner and outer edges. If

such a disc is used, this unit may reject

the disc.
