• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of place during collisions and other jolts.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotive­grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
•To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal tools) inside the unit.
•If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught between the faceplate and the unit.
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to strong shock. The unit may break or crack because it contains glass parts.

Notes on playing MP3 (KDC-M7024)
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note, however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following restrictions.
English
Acceptable media
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW. When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
• Joliet (64 characters)
• Romeo (128 characters)
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64
• Maximum number of folders: 50
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names or folder names are not properly displayed.
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.
•Transfer bit rate: 8 —320 kbps
• Sampling frequency: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
Entering ID3 tag
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x. For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.
Entering file and folder names
The code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used. The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3 extension (.MP3).
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non­MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the
MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 the MP3 extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer. Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.
For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search, or Folder Select as shown below.
When a File Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When a Folder Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When Folder Select is selected with file ¡$ being played to move from folder to folder ...

2CAUTION
• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system, consult your KENWOOD dealer.
• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO plug.
• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.
•Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.

two locks on the upper level. Upper the frame and pull it forward as shown in the figure.
Lock
Catch
•To attach this unit, make sure the front of the control panel faces you and fit it into the mounting sleeve by pressing the four corners of the hard rubber frame at the same time. Do not apply strong pressure to other sections than the corners; otherwise troubles such as the impossibility of opening or closing the panel may result.
• The hollow at the center of the rubber frame is designed to make it easier to remove discs. If you do not want the hollow to be visible, mount the rubber frame in the opposite direction (with the flat side at the top instead of the bottom).
