Welcome to the Kenwood CD-4900M/DPF-J9030 Instruction manual.
The Instruction manual contains all the information you need to know to set up and operate your new CD changer safely and enjoyably.
This chapter guides you through the connection and setup of your new CD changer and its remote.
Refer to the following pages for details on these issues :
÷ Connecting to a Receiver or Amplifier6
÷ System Control Chaining8
÷ Setting Up the 10-Key Remote and Keyboard9
Your CD changer includes a standard remote and a remote keyboard (for easier text entry). You can use
either device to control the changer. For the sake of simplicity, this manual provides standard remote
instructions for all functions except text entry.
Before You Begin
Be sure to read the notes on this page before you begin setting up the changer.
Notes
Notes
1. All cables (except the digital optical cable) should have been supplied with your new CD changer.
see “Unpacking”
If you need to purchase additional or replacement cables, visit any home electronics store or the Kenwood USA Web site at
www.kenwoodusa.com. You can also call 1-800-KENWOOD. (For USA and Canada only)
2. Do not plug in the CD changer’s power cord until you have finished making connections to your receiver or amplifier.
3. If you exposed your changer to a great difference in temperature (for example, if you purchased it in winter from a store with
an unheated warehouse) or if the humidity in the room changes, condensation may form inside the unit. If this occurs, connect
the unit, turn it on, and leave it on but unused for a few hours. This will evaporate the condensation and return your changer to
working order. Restart the changer before using it again.
4. Clean your CD changer with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents of any kind, as they may damage the cabinet components.
5. Do not use CD accessories such as protection sheets or disc cleaners with your new CD changer.
6. Kenwood recommends having your CD changer’s precision optical pickup inspected periodically. Depending on the operation
environment (humidity, dust, smoke, etc.), this pickup should operate approximately 1,000 hours before requiring inspection. To
schedule inspection, consult the store where you purchased the changer or visit the Kenwood USA Web site’s Support area.
7. Only player A supports DTS playback.
8. Be sure to locate your changer on a level and stationary surface, or it will not be able to play discs properly.
9. Your CD changer continues to store the following information for at least 3 weeks after you unplug its power cord:
÷ Power status (on or off)
÷ Disc and track names
÷ Music Type assignments
÷ User File assignments
÷ Best Selection assignments
÷ DTS assignments
After that you must reset this information according to the instructions in this manual.
10. Once you have set up the changer and loaded discs, you should not move it without doing the following:
(1) Remove all the discs from the unit and close the disc door.
(2) Look at the display(s). “NO DISC” should appear steadily (i.e., it should not be flashing).
(3) Turn off the CD changer.
(4) A few seconds after the display appears, disconnect the CD changer from the receiver and unplug the CD changer from the
wall outlet or power strip.

DTS Disclaimer clause
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper
precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the CD player
is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD player.

NotesNotes
Notes
1. Connect all cables firmly. If connections are loose, there could be loss of sound or noise produced.
2. When plugging and unplugging connection cables, be sure to first remove the power cable from the AC outlet. Plugging/unplugging
connection cables without removal of the power cable can cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
Connecting to a Receiver or Amplifier
To Connect the Changer to a Kenwood Receiver
1.Unplug the receiver from the wall outlet or power strip.
2.Connect the audio cable from output A on the CD changer to the receiver as shown to the left. If you are connecting
the CD changer to a receiver that supports Dual-Zone/Dual-Source listening (such as the VR-4900/KRF-V9993D
shown in the illustration), connect audio cables for both outputs A and B to the appropriate jacks on the receiver.
3.Connect an optional optical digital cable from the changer to the receiver as shown to the left. If your receiver does
not support digital output, skip this step.
If you do not connect a digital cable or if your receiver does not support digital output and DTS decoding, DTS discs
do not play on your changer.
4.Connect the system control cable from the changer to the receiver jack as shown to the left. If your receiver has the
SL16/XS8 mode select switch, set the connected receiver to the [SL16] mode. If you are connecting more than one
Kenwood device with a system control cable, see “What if I Have Several Kenwood Devices ?” for more information.
5.Connect the SL16 text cable (Communication cable) from the changer to the receiver’s jack as shown to the left.
6.Plug the changer’s power cable into a wall outlet or power strip.
7.Plug the receiver’s power cord back into a wall outlet or power strip.
To Connect the Changer to a Non-Kenwood Receiver or Preamplifier
1. Unplug the receiver or preamplifier from the wall outlet or power strip.
2. Connect the audio cable(s) from output A on the CD changer to the receiver or preamplifier as shown to the left.
3. Connect an optional optical digital cable from the changer to the receiver or preamplifier as shown to the left. If your
receiver does not support digital output and DTS decoding, skip this step. If you do not connect a digital cable or if your
receiver does not support digital output, DTS discs do not play on your changer.
4. Plug the changer’s power cable into a wall outlet or power strip.
5. Plug the receiver’s power cable back into a wall outlet or power strip.
To Connect the Digital Output Directly to a Digital Recorder (MD, DAT, etc.)
If your receiver does not support digital output, but you want to record discs to a digital format, you can connect the CD changer
directly to a digital recording device, such as an MD or DAT recorder.
1. Unplug the digital recorder from the wall outlet or power strip.
2. Connect the digital cable from the changer to the recorder.
3. Plug the changer’s power cable into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Plug the recorder’s power cable back into a wall outlet or power strip.
Malfunction of microcomputer
If operation is not possible or erroneous display appears even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer
referring to “In case of difficulty”.
q
System Control Chaining
What if I Have Several Kenwood Devices ?
8
System control allows you to :
÷ control connected devices via the receiver’s remote control
÷ switch the receiver’s input automatically to a connected device when you start playback from that device
÷ synchronize recording a CD or MD automatically when you start playback from those connected devices
This unit is compatible only with the [SL16] mode. The system
control operation is not available if the unit is connected in the
[XS-8] connection mode.
÷You can connect the system control cord to either system control
jack of the unit.
÷If your component has the mode select switch, set the connected
components to the [SL16] mode.
(Ensure that the power plug is not connected.)
Notes
Notes
1. If your amplifier or receiver does not support system control, do not connect the system control cable to any device.
2. Some CD players and cassette decks do not support the SL16 system control mode. Do not include these devices in a set of SL16 chained
connections.
3. Do not connect system control cables to any device not specified by Kenwood. Using system control functions with a device that does not
support them can damage the device.
4. Make sure system control plugs are firmly seated in the appropriate jacks.
