Welcome to the Kenwood CD-4900M/DPF-J9030 Instruction manual.
The Instruction manual contains all the information you need to know to set up and operate your new CD changer safely and enjoy-
ably.
This chapter guides you through the connection and setup of your new CD changer and its remote.

Your CD changer includes a standard remote and a remote keyboard (for easier text entry). You can use
either device to control the changer. For the sake of simplicity, this manual provides standard remote
instructions for all functions except text entry.
Chapter2
Before You Begin
Be sure to read the notes on this page before you begin setting up the changer.
NNootteess
Chapter3
1. All cables (except the digital optical cable) should have been supplied with your new CD changer.
see “Unpacking”
3
If you need to purchase additional or replacement cables, visit any home electronics store or the Kenwood USA Web site at
2. Do not plug in the CD changer’s power cord until you have finished making connections to your receiver or amplifier.
3. If you exposed your changer to a great difference in temperature (for example, if you purchased it in winter from a store with
an unheated warehouse) or if the humidity in the room changes, condensation may form inside the unit. If this occurs, connect
the unit, turn it on, and leave it on but unused for a few hours. This will evaporate the condensation and return your changer to
working order. Restart the changer before using it again.
Chapter4
4. Clean your CD changer with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents of any kind, as they may damage the cabinet components.
5. Do not use CD accessories such as protection sheets or disc cleaners with your new CD changer.
6. Kenwood recommends having your CD changer’s precision optical pickup inspected periodically. Depending on the operation
environment (humidity, dust, smoke, etc.), this pickup should operate approximately 1,000 hours before requiring inspection. To
schedule inspection, consult the store where you purchased the changer or visit the Kenwood USA Web site’s Support area.
Chapter5
7. Only player A supports DTS playback.
8. Be sure to locate your changer on a level and stationary surface, or it will not be able to play discs properly.
9. Your CD changer continues to store the following information for at least 3 weeks after you unplug its power cord:
÷ Power status (on or off)
÷ Disc and track names
÷ Music Type assignments
÷ User File assignments
÷ Best Selection assignments
÷ DTS assignments
Chapter6
After that you must reset this information according to the instructions in this manual.
q
10. Once you have set up the changer and loaded discs, you should not move it without doing the following:
(1) Remove all the discs from the unit and close the disc door.
(2) Look at the display(s). “NO DISC” should appear steadily (i.e., it should not be flashing).
(3) Turn off the CD changer.
(4) A few seconds after the display appears, disconnect the CD changer from the receiver and unplug the CD changer from the
wall outlet or power strip.

DTS Disclaimer clause
Note on the SL-16 TEXT jack
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be ex-
hibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper
precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the CD player
is connected to an amplification system.To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Sur-
round™ decoder system must be connected to the digital out-
put (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD player.
When using a KENWOOD Receiver equipped with the SL-16 TEXT
jack, connect it to the Receiver using the communication cable
provided with this unit. This makes it possible to display the
disc and track titles on the LCD remote control unit (provided
with the Receiver).
Cahpter6
If your receiver has the SL16/XS8 mode select switch,
set the connected receiver to the [SL16] mode.
NNoottee
1. Connect all cables firmly. If connections are loose, there could be loss of sound or noise produced.
2. When plugging and unplugging connection cables, be sure to first remove the power cable from the AC outlet. Plugging/unplugging
connection cables without removal of the power cable can cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.

Chapter 3 : Loading and Playing Discs
Your new CD changer contains a disc carousel that can store and play up to 200 discs using any
of the following methods :
16
÷ Normal Play, where you play each disc in the order loaded
Normal play (TRACK mode), where the CD changer acts like a regular CD player, playing the next disc in the queue from start
to finish, then stopping.
See “Normal play (TRACK mode)”
(
÷ Repeat Play, which plays the tracks or discs over and over
Cahpter1
Repeat mode where the CD changer plays a particular disc or set of tracks over and over.
See “Repeated playback (REPEAT mode)”
™
÷ Random Play, which plays the tracks on the loaded CDs in random order
Random mode where the CD changer plays all tracks on all discs loaded in the carousel in random order, without repeating any
tracks.
See “Playback in a random order (RANDOM mode)”
£
÷ Programmed play order
See “Programming tracks in desired order (PGM mode)”
¢
Cahpter2
÷ Continuous Play, which lets your CD changer function as your own personal jukebox, providing continuous
music — a CD plays on one player while the next CD is queuing up on the other
Continuous mode where the CD changer uses both players to provide seamless continuous audio—while a disc plays on one
player, another is queued on the second player.
See “Continuous playback”
§
÷ Timed Play, where you use an optional audio timer to automatically begin playing all CDs or only specified
CDs
Cahpter3
See “Timer operation”
÷ Internal processing that recognizes and stores disc data such as DTS registration
See “Registration of DTS discs”

Chapter 4 : Specifying and Using Disc or Track Data
Thanks to sophisticated design and onboard memory storage, your CD changer can read and store additional
information about the discs you load, enabling you to choose discs by title information rather than just disc
position.
29
This memory feature means you don’t have to remember what disc is stored in which slot or spend time creating
a list of what you’ve loaded.
Chapter1
Here’s how it works: every CD has an unique ID code embedded in it.The changer reads this code and associates
with it any other information that it reads or that you enter for the disc. It stores the information internally so
that when you load or play the disc, the changer still contains the disc and track titles (among other things).
1. Your CD changer will recall information read in at the time of registration even when the disc insertion place is changed.
2. Your changer stores this information for up to 210 discs, which allows you to rotate discs between the changer and
NNootteess
another CD player (for example, in your car) without losing any information read.
Chapter2
The CD changer can :
÷ read data from discs containing encoded CD Text information
÷ store disc and title information you enter using the 10-key remote, keyboard and LCD remote*.
÷ allow you to use the read or entered data to select discs
Chapter3
÷ allow you to program disc play for custom listening order
* VR-4900, KRF-V9993D and VR-4700 (Model available may differ depending on the country and sales area.)
The remote control unit of these receiver models can also be used to input titles or display information such as the titles.
The changer reads any data you specify when you play the disc or when you instruct the changer to read all
data.
Your CD changer includes a standard remote and a remote keyboard.You can use either device to control
the changer. For the sake of simplicity, this manual provides standard remote instructions for all functions
except text entry
Chapter4
The keyboard enables you to operate either player. To operate player A, press the keyboard buttons as
normal.To operate player B, hold down ROOM B button while pressing the appropriate keyboard buttons.
You can use this internal processing to control various features, such as :
÷ Playing discs of a predefined or user-specified MusicType that you can assign to each CD
Chapter5
See “Listening to music by genre (MUSIC TYPE mode)”
‹
÷ Playing discs by selecting disc titles, either read from CDText encoding on the CD or entered using the remote
or keyboard
See “Disc search (DISC SEARCH mode)”
fl
÷ Assigning Best Selection status to your favorite tracks, then playing them at any time.
See “Listening to your favorite titles (BEST SELECTION mode)”

Registration of Title
For discs not corresponding to CD-TEXT, a title can be given
to the disc (max. 25 characters). Up to 20 tracks titles can
be registered per disc. Operation is possible also when the
disc door is open. We recommend to register titles while
discs are being inserted.

Although all operations can be controlled from both the
10-keyRemoteandKeyboardremotecontrolunits, donot

Chapter 5 : Dual-Zone Capabilities
The CD-4900M/DPF-J9030 offers dual-zone output and control, which enables you to use the changer (along
with a Kenwood Dual-Zone/Dual-Source compatible receiver) to play 2 discs simultaneously in 2 rooms (or zones).
The changer can do this because it includes 2 complete CD players that can each access the full carousel of
loaded discs. Each player has its own analog output jacks and cables, and the primary player (output “A”) also
has a digital output connection.

Not all playback features can be used by both players or zones. The following chart shows which playback
features are available for each player and/or zone.
