For the United Kingdom

Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1.The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2.The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3.Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

Europe (Except for U.K.)........................................................	230 V only
*Other countries............................	110-120/220^30-240 Vswitchable

*AC voltage selection

The AC voltage selector switches Type A and Type B on the rear panel are set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of these switches matche your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.

Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switches.

FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch (Except for some areas)

The FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be used; for instance, when you move from area 1 to area 2 or vice versa, desired reception of AM/FM broadcasts is not expected. In this case, change the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM DE­ EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.

•When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord, then reset the channel space switch, connect the power cord again, and turn the power on.

The DPSS (Direct Program Search System) allows you to play a cassette tape with a variety of playback functions tike a CD.

Playing tunes by skipping some. Playing a single tune repeatedly.

Rewinding a tape and playing from the beginning. Playing a tape by skipping blanks between tunes.

Different sounds of different sources can be played through the main and omni speakers.

Play the provided Sound Enhancement CD through the OMNI speak­ ers (optional) and play music through the main speakers, and you'll experience a completely new world of music. Naturally, any other combinations of sound sources are possible.

Various CD editing & recording features are available for selection according to the tape you want.

Fade edit recording:	Recording CD tracks sequentially from No. 1.
Program edit recording:Recording desired CD tracks in desired or­
	der.
Timed edit recording:	Recording CD tracks within the specified
	tape length so that no track is interrupted in
	the middle,
Al edit recording:	Recording all CD tracks even in case the

total playing time exceeds the total record­ ing time of tape.

X.FADE (Cross-fade) edit recording:

Recording by overlapping the beginnings and endings of the CD tracks.

The reproduced sound can be played with infinite purity without any additional manipulation o f the tone.

The improved graphic equalizer feature allows automatic curve setting with Al (Artificial Intelligence) as well as user's selection or even creation of desired curves. Up to 5 user-created curves can he stored in preset memory.

□□itioiBYsuRiiouiuDi playback is a matter of course. In addition, sound can be reproduced in KENWOOD original sound fields and the depth of sound can be adjusted as desired. You can enjoy music in a sound field you like.

In addition to the possibiiity of storing up to 4 timer programs in memory, the following functions are avaiiable.

Al TIMER!:	When the power is turned ON by the timer, the
	sound increases gradually.
Al TIMER2:	When the power is turned ON by the timer, two
	CD tracks are played first, then radio is received
	after it.
Sleep timer:	Useful when you want to go asleep while listen­
	ing to music.

One-touch timer: The power can be turned ON at an approximate time, without the need of the fine time adjustment operations.

	System connections
Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until
all of the required connections have been made.
m When arranging the system units in a vertical, stacked configu­			1
ration, observe the stacking order indicated in the system con­
nection diagram below.
• In case an associated system component is connected, also
read the instruction manual of the component.
• Align the front panels of the unit flush.

When arranging the system in a horizontal configuration, be sure to place the preampiifier/tuner unit + power ampiifier/graphic equalizer unit on the right side of the CD player unit + cassette deck unit.

Connection oiparallffXmi^

• When connecting the parallel cord, insert the plug straight into the connector until it clicks to lock them securely.

> When connecting the parallel cord, the wire with white line should come to the left side end.

I When disconnecting the parallel cord, push in the two sides of the plug and pull it straight out.

Uiiiiiiiiii'P

I Notes I 1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not produced or noise may interfere.

2.Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. If connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may result.

3.Do not connect up a power source whitch is larger than that indicated on the socket at rear of the unit.

Caution

When installing the system components in a horizontal cofiguration, place the preamplifier/tuner unit (C-E9) and power amplifier/graphic equalizer unit (B-E9) to the right of the CD player unit (DP-ME9) and cassette deck unit (X-E9) as shown in the connection diagram.

Do not place the CD player and cassette deck to the right of the power amplifier/graphic equalizer unit, for this will lead to overheating or malfunction.

This jack can also be connected to an amplifier equipped with a digital optical input (optical fiber).

•When using an optical fiber cable to connect this unit to a MD

recorder or digital amplifier, insert the plug straight into the jack until a snap sound is heard.

•Be careful not to bend, coil or bundle the optical fiber cable.
