CAUTION on Volume Setting

CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.

BEFORE USE

For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

What is BBEII?

The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time. In addition, the BBEII function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press BBE (B), the BBEII function changes as follows:

SEL

Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (See page 19.)

SEL

Select “CRUISE” if not shown on the display.

To adjust the volume increase rate

If you find Audio Cruise increases (or decreases) the volume either too much or too little as the driving speed changes, you can adjust the increase rate by changing the boost lev el. To change it, follow the procedure below.

• See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 18.

1 Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2

seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.

If Audio Cruise does not function correctly

You may need to store the idling speed into memory to make Audio Cruise function correctly.

NOTICE that a number of factors, such as electric power steering, wipers, power windows, air conditioner, etc. do generate noises and, as a result, may cause Audio Cruise not to function correctly. If this is the main cause of malfunction, connect the memory backup lead (yellow lead) directly to the car battery to prevent these noises from affecting Audio Cruise.

1 Start the engine and let it warm up. 2 Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2

seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.

3 Press ¢ or 4 repeatedly until

“CRUISE” appears on the display.

Playing an external component

When connecting an external component, you can select the component as the sound source.

Notes for KD-LX333:

• For the external component connection, see the Installation/Connection Manual (separate volume).

• If the input level of the external component connected to the LINE INPUT plug is not high enough, increase the input level properly. Without adjusting the input level, you may be surprised at a loud sound when you change the source from the external component to another. (See “To adjust the line input level –– LINE ADJ” on page 21.)

Notes for KD-LX111:

• For connecting the external component, you need to use the Line Input Adaptor KS-U57 (not supplied). See the Installation/Connection Manual (separate volume).

• Before operating the external component using the following procedure, select the external input correctly. (See “To select the external component to use –– EXT INPUT” on page 21.)

MAINTENANCE

Handling CDs

This unit has been designed to reproduce the CDs bearing the following marks.

ENGLISH

You can play back your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) on this receiver.

This unit is not compatible with MP3.

How to handle CDs

When removing a CD from its case, press down the

center holder of the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the CD by the

When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

use.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized. ”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave them inside your car.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

To play new CDs

New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying. We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.
