The CD-R and CD-RW records digital data of music CD or other source without compression so it can be
played back at equivalent high quality to commercially marketed CDs.
÷

This unit cannot playback a CD-R or CD-RW which has not been finalized.
This unit cannot play other data than audio signal data, such as data signal in a CD-ROM. When a disc containing
various data, for example a CD Graphic or CD-TEXT is loaded in the unit, the unit cannot play other data than the
audio signal data.
In addition to the above, this unit may also be incapable of playing certain CD-R or CD-RW discs depending on the
recording characteristics of recording equipment (including the pickup), properties of the CD-R or CD-RW in use, its
recording condition and so on.

There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3 files and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the
same media.
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
1/6, recording of up to 74 min is possible on discs with the same 12 cm diameter as general audio CDs.
Two types of discs are being marketed (without PBC) for simple playback and (with PBC) with menus and special
playback (playback control). This unit can be used for playback of VIDEO CDs of both types.

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?
MP3istheabbreviationof"MPEG1AudioLayer3". MPEGAudioisacompressionspecificationthatcompressestheaudio
portion only. This audio compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into
about 1/10.
Important notes on the MP3 file
Acceptable medium
÷
The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660. (The maximum total number of folders which can be
recognized by this unit is 63 and the total number of files is 255.)
÷
÷
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
÷

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.
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.

30 characters each).
÷
ID3TAG display is available when you press theTIME DISPLAY key.
÷
If the MP3 disc has ID3 TAG data (Version 1.1), song title and artist name will be displayed on theTV screen and also
scrolls across the display.
÷
If the MP3 disc does not have ID3TAG or English data, "UNKNOWN" scrolls across the display.
÷
÷
Kenwood is not responsible for playability of MP3 in any case due to recording condition such as PC perfor-
mance, writing software, media ability or etc.
When playing a MP3 file, the display of the track time might not increase consistently.

Disc handling precautions
Handling
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the
player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or
deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive
agent. Please do not use discs which are not round be-
cause they may cause malfunction.
Hold the disc so that you do not touch the
playing surface.

Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

To re-record
¶
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage
the mechanism of the unit.
Apply tape only to the position where the tab
has been removed.
Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute
recording time, for the tape used in such a cas-
sette is very thin and tends to cause problem
such as entanglement around the pinch roller or
could be easily cut off.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store tapes in places which are subjected to di-
rect sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
WARNING NOTICE:
In most cases it is an infringement of copyright to make copies of tapes or discs without the permission
of the copyright owners. Anyone wishing to copy commercially available tapes or disc should contact
the mechanical copyright protection society limited or the performing rights society limited.
