About RDS
About CDs
RDS (Radio Data System)

• Don’t touch the recording surface of the CD.
CD cleaning
Clean from the center of the disc and move
outward.
When listening to an RDS station, the
programme service name of the station is
displayed, advising you quickly which station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit alternative frequency data for the
same station. When you are making long
trips, this function automatically 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 programme, that has better
reception. These include stations stored in the
station preset memory that you often listen
to.
Removing CDs
When removing CDs from this unit pull them
out horizontally.
CDs that can’t be used
• CDs that aren’t round can’t be used.
• CD-R and CD-RW are easier to damage than

Also, don’t use a CD with tape stuck on it.
When using a new CD
If the CD center hole or outside rim has burrs,
use it after removing them with a ball pen etc.
Enhanced Other Network
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.
• CDs with coloring on the recording surface
or that are dirty can’t be used.
• This unit can only play the CDs with
.

It may not correctly play discs which do not
have the mark.
• A CD-R or CD-RW that hasn’t been finalized

refer to your CD-R/CD-RW writing software,
and your CD-R/CD-RW recorder instruction
manual.)

• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the
antenna cord has an ISO plug.

..........................................1
• 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.
..........................................2
..........................................1
• 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.
The use of any accessories except for those provided might result in
damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories shipped with
the unit, as shown above.
• 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.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if
you share the - wires and/or ground them to any metal part in
the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the
faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the - terminal of the battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it to the
speaker connector in your vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it to the
external power connector on your vehicle.
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.
