Safety precautions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2WARNING
2CAUTION
About CD players/disc changers
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.

About RDS
Lens Fogging
RDS (Radio Data System)
NOTE
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
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
When listening to an RDS station, the program
service name of the station is displayed,
advising you quickly which station is being
received.
• If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the
Reset button. The unit returns to factory
settings when the Reset button is pressed.
If the unit still fails to operate properly after
the Reset button has been pressed, contact
your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.
• Press the reset button if the disc auto
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal
operation should be restored.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit frequency data for the same station.
When you are making long trips, this function
automatically alternative switches to the
particular frequency with the best reception
for the particular network of stations that you
want to listen to. The data is automatically
stored, allowing you to switch quickly to
another RDS stations, broadcasting the same
program, that has better reception. These
include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Unit
RTN
NEXT
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other
Network> also transmit information about
other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station
that is not transmitting traffic information, but
another RDS station starts transmitting a
traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically
switches to the other station for the duration
of the bulletin.
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may
affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch
the surface or erases characters.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note,
however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats
acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to
the following restrictions.
Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions of
Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.
When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the
maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an
empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
Acceptable media
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,
CD-R, and CD-RW.
Entering ID3 tag and Contents
Description
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version
1.x.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent
malfunction.
For the character code, refer to the
List of Codes.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The
maximum number of characters used for file name including the
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in
parentheses.
Entering file and folder names
The code list characters are the only
file names and folder names that can
be entered and displayed.
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
• Joliet (64 characters)
• Romeo (128 characters)
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.

MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not
play correctly.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks
all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or
non-MP3/WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts
playing MP3/WMA.
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not
properly displayed.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next
MP3/WMA file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed
smoothly.

• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the
ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off
with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power
source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the
battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the
faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to
cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the
same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar
material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on
the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you
share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the system,
connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals
or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker
to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a
rear output terminal
