Installing the System

Notes on installing the system

Always install the system on a  at, stable surface. When installing the system on a stand of some sort, be sure to check



the strength of the stand.

Do not locate the speakers too close to a TV or PC. The magnets used in the speakers may cause color irregularities on



TV or PC screens.

When moving this system, be sure to hold onto the main unit. Holding onto the speakers can cause the main unit to fall.



Main unit

Left speaker Right speaker

CAUTION

Observe the following cautions when installing the system. Insu cient heat radiation may build up internal heat and cause a malfunction or  re hazard.



Do not place any object on the system that may hinder heat radiation.



Leave spaces around the cabinets of the main unit as speci ed below. Top panel: 50 cm or more, Side panel: 10 cm or more, Back panel: 10 cm or more

Install the system so the power outlet is easily accessible, and unplug the power cord from the power outlet immediately in case of any trouble. Note that the power supply to the system is not shut down completely by simply setting the power switch to OFF. To shut down the power supply completely, unplug the power cord.

Getting the best acoustic e ect

The sound will vary depending on the positioning of the speakers. To get the best possible sound quality, note the guidelines below.

Ensure that the areas around the left and right speakers are as identical as possible. Set up the left and right speakers



away from the wall and hang thick curtains on any windows to minimize echoes or reverberation.

Position the speakers at the same height as your ears when you are using the system.

Connecting the System

Microcomputer malfunctions

If the system does not operate normally or shows display errors, reset the microcomputer. (Page 81)

Connecting the AC adapter

Use only the AC-120400A that comes with this product. To ensure optimum operation of the system, locate the AC adapter as far away as possible from the system.

AC power cord

To AC wall outlet

Do not cover or wrap the AC adapter with cloth, blanket or other material.

AC adapter cautions



Doing so will result in  re due to excessive heat accumulating in the adapter.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

The antenna supplied with the system is for indoor use. Place it as far away as possible from the system, your TV set, the speaker cords, AC adapter and the power cord, and point it in the direction that provides the best reception.

Connecting the antenna cord



Connect the AM antenna cord to the [AM] and [MGND] terminals, as shown on the right.

Connecting the System

Detaching and attaching the speakers

You can detach the speakers from the main unit and position them as you like. Before detaching or attaching the speakers, or replacing the speaker cords, always turn the system o and unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet. If there is a disc in the main unit, remove it. When only one of the speakers is detached, the unit is unstable and can tip over when subjected to vibration or impact. Take care whenever detaching or attaching speakers. When attaching the speakers, make sure they are attached securely. Improper installation creates the risk of the speaker falling.

Detaching the speakers

Hooks

Remove the speaker cords from the hooks on the back of the main unit.

From the back of the speaker, move it as indicated by the arrow. Take care so you do not drop the speaker.

Detach the speaker from the main unit.

Placing a detached speaker on a  at



surface

Lay the speaker onto the  at surface with the side that attaches to the main unit downwards. The side of the speaker that attaches to the main unit has non-skid feed.

The magnets used in the speakers may cause color irregularities on



TV or PC screens. Do not locate the speakers too close to a TV or PC.

Connecting the speakers

Replacing the speaker cords

Connecting the System

Align the speaker with the main unit so the protrusions in the main unit enter the installation holes of the speaker.

From the front of the speaker, move it as indicated by the arrow.

If you want to use the speakers while they are detached from the main unit and the speaker cords are too short, you can replace the supplied cords with the following type of commercially available speaker cords: AWG24-18 (Conductor Diameter: 0.511 mm - 1.024 mm). Strip about 1 cm of the vinyl insulation from the tips of both ends of the replacement speaker cords, twist the ends of the wires together so they do not unravel when you connect them.

Preparing the ends of the speaker cords



Twist the plastic sleeve on the end of the cord as you pull it o .

Ensure that all the cords are securely connected. Loose or incomplete connections may result in noise



interference or no sound at all.

Caution for outdoor antenna installation

Since antenna installation requires skill and experience, always consult your dealer before installation. The antenna should be located away from power lines. If the antenna falls over, contact with a power line creates the risk of electric shock.

Precautions when writing data to discs



Discs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.



When writing data to a disc, always close the session or  nalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not close the session or  nalize the disc.



Depending on the speci cations of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and  le names may not be displayed correctly.



Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal discs.



If you write audio  les and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.



Before writing audio  les to a disc, check that the  les play back correctly on the PC being used to write the  les.

After you  nish writing, check that the written  les are played back correctly.



Use the correct  le extensions (mp3, wma) in the names of audio  les. Files without  le extensions will not play. Also, do not use audio  le extensions (mp3, wma) for  les that are not audio  les.

For more information on  le extensions, see <Supported Audio Files> on the right.

Notes on CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs

If the CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc being used has a printable label surface, the label surface may cause sticking that makes it impossible to remove the disc from the system. To prevent malfunction of the system, do not use such discs.

Handling USB devices

Handling precautions

Be sure to read the instruction manual that comes with



the device you are using.

This system does not come with a USB device. It is up



to you to purchase a commercially available USB device separately.

The [



USB] port on the front panel of the main unit

supports USB2.0 (Full speed).

Do not use a USB device connected via a USB hub.

Certain conditions while using a USB device can cause contents stored on the USB device to be lost. Note that Kenwood will not be held liable for any losses arising out of loss of stored contents.

Cautions on CD discs

Always use a disc carrying the marking.

A disc without this marking may be unable to be played back correctly.

The disc rotates at a high speed during playback. Never use a cracked, chipped or greatly warped disc. Otherwise, damage or malfunction of the player may result. Also, do not use a disc with a non-circular shape as this may result in malfunction.

Supported USB devices

The following are the limitations on the type of USB devices that can be used and on the scope of their use.



USB mass storage class compliant

Consult your retailer to  nd out whether your USB

device is USB mass storage class compliant.



Maximum current consumption of 500 mA

Use of a USB device that does not comply with the

above conditions may result in improper playback of track  les. Even if a USB device does satisfy the above conditions, certain device types and conditions may make proper playback impossible.



This system supplies power to USB devices, which means you can enjoy listening to music while charging your device. To do this, the system must be turned on and USB must be selected as the source.
