Safety precautions

2WARNING

To prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of place when jolted.

• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm² (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as 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.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.

• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• Do not set the removed faceplate or the faceplate case in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.

• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause your unit to malfunction.

• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

• Do not place any object between the faceplate and the unit.

• Do not apply excessive force to the moving faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or malfunction.

• Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage or breakdown.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

About RDS

RDS (Radio Data System)

When listening to an RDS station, the program service name of the station is displayed, advising you quickly which station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data for the same station. When you are making long trips, this function automatically alternative switches to the particular frequency with the best reception for the particular network of stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting the same program, that has better reception. These include stations stored in the station preset memory that you often listen to.

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit information about other RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warning to be received.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA

Note, however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable media

The MP3/WMA 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 and folder 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 character)

• Romeo (128 character)

• Long file neme (200 characters)

• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64

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 folders: 100

MP3/WMA 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/WMA encoder and CD writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA encoder.

• Transfer bit rate: MP3: 8 —320 kbps

WMA: 48 —192 kbps

• Sampling frequency MP3: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA 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.

• Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.

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/WMA which have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).

• 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/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/ WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3/WMA. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3/WMA 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/ WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data as long as they have the MP3/WMA extension.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/ WMA.

English

MP3/WMA playing order

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/WMA 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.
