About CD players/disc changers  
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully  
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of  
place during collisions and other jolts.  
• 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 short circuits, never put or leave  
any metallic objects (e.g., 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.  
• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the  
unit.  
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to  
direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.  
Also avoid places with too much dust or the  
possibility of water splashing.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive  
shock, as it is a piece of precision  
equipment.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one  
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with  
the wrong rating may cause your unit to  
malfunction.  
To prevent short circuits when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the  
faceplate and the unit.  
• During installation, do not use any screws  
except for the ones provided. The use of  
improper screws might result in damage to  
the main unit.

Notes on playing MP3 (KDC-M7024)  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,  
however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable  
are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following  
restrictions.  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 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.  
Entering ID3 tag  
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3  
version 1.x.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,  
and CD-RW.  
For the character code, refer to the  
List of Codes.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent  
malfunction.  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only  
file names and folder names that can  
be entered and displayed.  
If you use any other character for  
entry, the file and folder names are  
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.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)  
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)  
• Joliet (64 characters)  
• Romeo (128 characters)  
not displayed correctly. They may  
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3  
extension (.MP3).  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not  
play correctly.  
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.  
For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the  
writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below.  
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64  
• Maximum number of folders: 50  
Writing files into a medium  
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.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or  
a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.  
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.  
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.  
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer  
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3 data  
with the MP3 encoder.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.  
Transfer bit rate: 8 —320 kbps  
• Sampling frequency:
