INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning:

If you need to operate the receiver while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

using a ball-point pen or a similar tool. This will reset the built-in microcomputer.

CAUTIONS:

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

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

Your preset adjustments—such as preset channels or sound adjustments—will also be erased.

• Do not expose discs 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.

Notice:

The display window built in this receiver has been produced with high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not malfunction.

ENGLISH

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.

adapted the following methods:

• Some related tips and notes are explained later in the sections “More about This Receiver” (see page 47), but not in the same section explaining the operations. If you want to know more

about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the function, go to the section and you will find the answers.

technology

HD Radio technology receives high-quality digital broadcasts. You can enjoy superior audio quality, clear reception, and wireless data services.

Compression Compensative Converter—CCC

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24-bit quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals). This processing can be applied to the analog sources as well as the digital sources.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modes

The preset DSP modes can create a more acoustic sound field inside your car compartment, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

BBE Digital

Digital* is a new digital processing

BBE method to restore the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. BBE Digital adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

Color Graphic Display

The color display (256 × 64 pixels) built in this receiver can reproduce 256 colors.

Image Converter Color

With Image Converter Color included in the supplied CD-ROM, you can create your own images and animations, and can display them on the color graphic display.

What is HD Radio?

This unit is equipped with an HD Radio receiver. HD Radio can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like sound quality (in stereo) and FM digital will have CD-like sound quality—with static-free and clear reception. Furthermore, it can carry text and data, such as artist names and song titles. Today, HD Radio broadcasts are comprised of both analog and digital signals. In the future, some radio stations may choose to remove their analog signals and broadcast an All Digital HD Radio signal. KD-SHX900 is capable of receiving today’s HD radio signals, along with the all- digital broadcasts of the future.

• HD Radio receivers can also receive conventional analog broadcasts.

“Auto Search” begins.

When a station is received, searching stops.

When an HD Radio station is tuned in...

Analog signals are always received first for a few seconds before digital signals are received.

When HD Radio sound quality changes frequently

While receiving an HD Radio broadcast, received signals alternate automatically between digital and analog to obtain better reception. Because of this automatic reception, the sound quality also changes as received signals change. If you want to cancel this function, follow the procedure below.

While listening to an HD Radio station...

• If no sound comes out with the current setting selected, change the setting to one of the others.

Do not change the setting while receiving a conventional FM/AM station.

• The setting automatically returns to “Auto” in the following cases:

– When you tune in to another station. – When you change to another source. – When you turn off the power.

To tune in FM stations only with strong signals—LO/DX (Local/Distanceextreme)

If received signals are weak, you may only hear noises. By setting LO/DX to “Local,” you can make this unit detects only stations with sufficient signal strength.
