(Initial setting)
Note:
The display illustrations used in this manual are with the source symbol animations and with “CLOCK” set to
“ON.” (See page 38.)
CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the
volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.
Note:
For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on
the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.

• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to
the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during
battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations
again.
If the sound quality decreases and the
stereo effect is lost while listening to
an FM station...
In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere
with each other. If such interference occurs,
this unit can automatically reduce the
interference noise (the initial setting when
shipped from the factory). However, in this
case, the sound quality will be degraded and
the stereo effect will also be lost.
If you do not want to degrade the sound quality
and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to
eliminate the interference noise, see “To
change the FM tuner selectivity – IF FILTER”
on page 40.

RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of network-
tracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, as well as information
about what type of programme they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favourite
programme or traffic announcement while
listening to another programme or to another
source such as CD.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF:
Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“off.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up but the
REG indicator does not.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement)
or your favourite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“on.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
Both the AF indicator and the REG
indicator light up.
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
• OFF:
Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the
same programme with stronger signals. So, you
can continue to listen to the same programme in
its finest reception, no matter where you drive.
(See the illustration on the next page.)
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.
AF indicator
AF
REG
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly —
PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the
RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
REG indicator
Note:
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception
(for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking
Reception is also activated automatically. On the other
hand, Networking-Tracking Reception cannot be
deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception.
(See page 52.)

Using TA Standby Reception
1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more
than 2 seconds so that one of the
PSM items appears on the display.
(PSM: see page 37.)
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the
current source (another FM station, CD or other
connected components).
• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
2 Select “AF-REG (alternative
frequency/regionalization
reception)” if not shown on the
display.
Press T/P to activate TA Standby Reception.
7 When the current source is FM, the TP
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically tunes in
to the station. The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 19) and
the traffic announcement can be heard.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for TA Standby Reception.
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need
to tune in to another station providing these
signals.

MP3 INTRODUCTION
This chapter is only for KD-SH909R.
Precautions when recording MP3 files
on a CD-R or CD-RW
What is MP3?
This unit can only read MP3 files that are
recorded in the format that is compliant with
ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet.
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3*. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10
(128 Kbps**). That means, by using MP3 format,
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?
MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in
“directories (folders)”—in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and directories can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
directories/folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and directory can be linked to and be accessed
from the root.
*
This player is not compatible with the data encoded
with Layer 1 and 2 formats.
** Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000
bits/second).To get a better audio quality, choose a higher
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128
Kbps.
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
Playback order, file search order, and directory
search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc
are determined by the writing (or encoding)
application; therefore, playback order may be
different from the one you have intended while
recording the directories and the files.
Compatible with ID3v1
Extra information data such as album title, performer
name, song title, recording year, music genre and a
brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file.
The illustration on the next page shows an
example of how MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and
how they are searched on this unit.
This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name,
performer name and song title) on the display.
(See page 53.)
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.
• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.
Notes:
Other Main Features in this unit:
• Maximum number of directories/files: 289
(Total)
• Available characters for directory/file names:
A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore)
• Maximum number of characters for file name
(ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
• The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to
malfunction.
• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code—mp3.
extension code—“mp3”)
• The unit is not compatible with Playlist*.
(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
* A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which enables
users to make their own playback order without physically
rearranging the files.

MP3 playback/search order (page 29)
• The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the
MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.
• The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories
on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.
Movement between the directories (pages 30 and 31)
You can move to another directory on the same hierarchy level (only within the same parent directory)
(e.g. from Directory 02, you can go to Directory 04 or 08) or on a different hierarchy level (e.g. from
Directory 05, you can go to Directory 04 or 06).

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes
(services) broadcast at the same time. After
tuning into an ensemble, you can select a
service you want to listen to.
What is DAB system?
DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting
systems available today. It can deliver CD
quality sound without any annoying
interference and signal distortion.
Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and
data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each
programme is transmitted on its own
frequency, DAB combines several
programmes (called “services”) to form one
“ensemble.”

MAINTENANCE
CAUTIONS:
•
Handling discs
Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)
Do not insert any disc of unusual shape — like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
This unit has been designed to reproduce the
•
discs bearing the following marks.
COMPACT
DIGITAL AUDIO
•
•
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat
source or place them in a place subject to high
temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a
car.
Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to
clean discs.
You can also play back your original CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either in
audio CD format (or in MP3 format only for
KD-SH909R).
How to handle discs
Center holder
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.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in audio CD format (or in MP3 format only
for KD-SH909R).
(However, they may not be played back depending
on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable), where audio CD tracks are
recorded, can be played back only if they are
already “finalized.”
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read
their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if
the player’s lens is dirty.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.
To keep discs clean
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.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave
them inside your car.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)
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.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on
extremely rough roads. This does not damage
the unit and the disc, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop disc playback
while driving on such rough roads.
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
evaporates.
