Lens Fogging
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
• We strongly recommend the use of the
Code Security function (see p.32) to prevent
theft.
• The illustrations of the display and the
panel appearing in this manual are
examples used to explain more clearly how
the controls are used. Therefore, what
appears on the display in the illustrations
may differ from what appears on the
display on the actual equipment, and some
of the illustrations on the display may
represent something impossible in actual
operation.
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a whilst,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean
it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if
you put them in a dusty CD slot.
• The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players
being connected.

Handling Compact discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
incorrectly, resulting in worsened
sound quality. Take the following
precautions to prevent your CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Storing CDs
Checking New CDs for Burrs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to
direct sunlight – such as a car seat or
above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or
other hot places.
A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible
than a music CD to damage from high
temperatures and humidity, and in some
cases, may become unusable if left in the
car for long periods of time.
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
Handling CDs
• Remove CDs from the unit when not
listening to them for a whilst, and put
them back in their cases. Do not stack
CDs that have been removed from their
cases or prop them against something.
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.
Burrs
Burrs
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
centre of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is
more fragile than that on an ordinary music
CD, and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints
on a CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely to
cause skipping when the disc is played. For
these reasons, handle the disc very carefully.
Detailed handling instructions will appear on
the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this
information carefully before using the disc.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Tape

Handling Compact discs
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labelled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker
stuck on it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off,
resulting in malfunction of the unit.
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets,
or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause
the unit to malfunction.
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for
this unit and do not use any special shape
CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause
the unit to malfunction.
Egnlish
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction. You may damage the
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down
as it ejects.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
•CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not
undergone finalization processing cannot
be played. (For more information on
finalization processing, refer to the manual
for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or
CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally,
depending on the recording status, it may
prove impossible to play certain CDs
recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.

Notes on playing MP3 files
This unit can play MP3 files.
Entering file and folder names
Note, however, that the MP3 file recording media and formats
acceptable are limited.
When entering file and folder names, use the alphanumeric
characters described above only. If you use any other character for
entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.
When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 files which have the
MP3 filename extension (.MP3). MP3 files should therefore be saved
with the MP3 extension.
Acceptable media
The MP3 file recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,
CD-R, and CD-RW.
Writing files into a medium
Acceptable medium formats
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all
the files 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 files.
The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660 Level 1
and Level 2 excluding the extended formats. When reading an MP3
file written in a format other than ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, the
unit may fail to play the file normally or display the file or folder name
correctly.
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.
You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with
MP3 files on the medium.
The major specifications of ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 are as
follows:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
2CAUTION
• Maximum number of files and folders per directory level:
When playing MP3 files on a medium which also contains non-MP3
files or folders, observe the following precautions. Loading such a
medium may produce loud noise to break the speakers.
253 (files and folders in total)
• Characters available to file and folder names:
A - Z, 0 - 9, _(underscore)
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the
• Maximum number of characters in file names :
MP3 extension.
Level 1: 12 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)
Level 2: 31 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 files as long as they have
the MP3 extension.
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3
file, set the transfer bit rate of the
encoder to fixed 128 kbps.
When you use your CD writer to record
MP3 files up to the maximum disc
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3 file.
MP3 file playing order
When selected for play, folder search, file search, or for folder select,
files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written
by the CD writer.
Because of this, the order in which they are to be recorded does not
match the order in which they are played. You may be able to set the
order in which MP3 files 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.
capacity, disable additional writing. For
recording on an empty disk up to the
maximum capacity at once, check Disc
at Once.
Entering ID3 tag
Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1 and
1.1; the character code is ASCII (see A
List of Codes).
