Discs recorded with other television format (SECAM) cannot be played back with this unit.  
CD-R and CD-RW  
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.

onto the media.  
÷
÷
÷
Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.  
MP3 files on which the session has not been closed or finalized cannot be played back with this unit.  
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.

Playback of MP3 file  
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  
÷
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.  
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 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.

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a  
soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc.  
for these agents may cause discoloration.  
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a mal-  
function. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners  
containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.

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.  
Label side

ply with the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the

Cleaning  
If there are fingerprint marks or foreign  
matter found on the disc, lightly wipe the  
disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar)

quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner  
should not be used with this system because they may  
cause malfunction.  
Storage  
When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time,  
remove it from the player and store it in its case.  
Notes on cassette tape  
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)  
After an important recording has finished, break the  
safety tab to prevent the recorded contents from being  
erased or recorded on accidentally.  
When there is slack in the tape  
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and  
wind the reel hub to remove the slack.  
For A side  
For B side  
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
