Notes on playing MP3  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2 Audio Layer 3). Note, however,  
that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable are limited.  
When writing MP3, pay attention to the following restrictions.  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list  
may not play correctly.  
Writing files into a medium  
Acceptable media  
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the  
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-  
MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing  
MP3.  
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,  
and CD-RW.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent  
malfunction.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file  
or a Track Search or Disc Search may not be performed smoothly.  
Acceptable medium formats  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the  
MP3 extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have  
the MP3 extension.  
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.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)  
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)  
• Joliet (64 characters; up to 19 characters are displayed on this unit)  
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.  
MP3 playing order  
When selected for play, Track Search, or for Folder Select, files and  
folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD  
writer.  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played  
may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be  
able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them  
onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with  
play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD  
writer.  
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64 (up to 19  
characters are displayed on this unit)  
• Maximum number of folders: 50  
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be  
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not  
properly displayed.

Glossary  
DVD: Digital Versatile Disc  
Title number (DVD)  
A type of disc which contains recording of audio/video packaged  
media with high video and audio quality, such as a movie,  
featuring large recording capacity and digital signal processing  
capability.  
The title is the largest unit of video and audio recorded in a DVD.  
It usually corresponds to a single movie of video software or an  
album (sometimes a piece of music) of music software. The  
numbers assigned to individual titles are referred to as the title  
numbers.  
VIDEO CD (VCD)  
A type of CD which contains the recording of moving images. It  
compresses image information by about 1/120 and audio  
information by about 1/6 and accommodates up to 74 minutes of  
recording in a disc with the same diameter as ordinary music CD  
of 12 cm.  
Chapter number (DVD)  
The chapter is a section of video and audio recorded in a DVD. A  
title is composed of several chapters. The numbers assigned to  
individual chapters are referred to as the chapter numbers.  
Track number (CD, VCD)  
Some VCDs do not have the P.B.C. compatibility and are capable  
of playback only, while some are P.B.C.-compatible and are  
capable of various special playback control operations. This player  
can play both of these VCDs.  
MPEG: Moving Picture Expert Group (DVD, VCD)  
This is an international standard for digital video and audio  
compression and decompression in media.  
A track is also a section of video and audio recorded in a disc. The  
numbers assigned to individual tracks are referred to as the track  
numbers.  
With most of music Discs, a track is assigned to a piece of music.  
However, with a VCD, the sections of the contents do not always  
correspond to the assigned tracks.  
As (special) playback functions such as skipping and programming  
of ordinary Discs are based on track number data, such playback  
functions are sometimes impossible with some VCDs.  
Dolby Digital  
This is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. It is compatible with 5.1-channel surround audio as  
well as normal stereo (2-channel) audio and can accommodate a  
large amount of audio data efficiently in a disc.  
P.B.C.: Play-Back Control (VCD)  
When a VIDEO CD carries “Play Back Control capable” or similar  
message on the disc or jacket, desired scenes and information  
can be played back in an interactive manner using a hierarchical  
structure while viewing the menu screens displayed on the TV  
screen.  
DTS  
Name of a digital surround system developed by Digital Theater  
Systems, Inc.  
MENU/TOP MENU (DVD)  
Some DVDs display more than one title in a screen. This screen is  
referred to as the title menu.  
The DVD menu is the item display (menu screen) for use in  
setting operations. The DVD menu can be recalled any time during  
playback to perform settings according to the current software,  
including the audio switching between Dolby Digital and PCM,  
switching of language used in the subtitles and spoken voice.

If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow)  
to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in  
turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power  
source running through the fuse box.  
2CAUTION  
• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by  
inserting jacks until they lock completely.  
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the  
ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant  
voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not be linked with  
the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the  
ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition,  
connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned  
on and off with the ignition key.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused  
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 short circuits, also do not remove the caps  
on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.  
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
