TEST MODE
1. How to enter the test mode
While holding the Preset 1 and Preset 3 keys, reset the
unit.
2. How to exit from the test mode
Reset the unit, ACC OFF, power OFF and Panel detached.
(Note) The test mode cannot be terminated by momen-
tary power down.
3. Initial status in the test mode
• Sources : ALL OFF
• Display :All segments are lit.
• Volume : -10 dB (displayed as "30")
• Loudness : OFF
4. Special display in Tuner mode
• CRSC :OFF regardless of the presence of
switching function.
• SYSTEM Q : Flat
• BEEP : When pressing any ke ys, the b uzzer
generates a beep at any time.
• SYSTEM Q MENU: OFF
When any of the follo wing messages is displayed in Tuner
mode, the F/E may be abnormal.
• "TNE2P NG" : The EEPROM is set to the default (unstable values) because the F/E was shipped without
passing through the adjustment process, etc.
• "TNCON NG" : Communication with the F/E is not possible.

KDC-M4524/G/Y/GY
TEST MODE
5. Forced switching of K3I
Each press of the Preset 6 key in Tuner mode should switch
K3I from AUT O → F orced Wide → F orced Middle → Forced
Narrow → AUTO.
The initial status is AUTO and the display shows these
modes as follows.
• AUTO : FMA
• Forced Wide : FMW
• Forced Middle : FMM
• Forced Narrow : FMN
6. Test mode specifications of the CD receiver
• Forced ejection is inhibited in the reset start operation.
When the unit is reset while a CD is loaded in it, the CD
is not recognized by resetting.
• Each press of the Track Up key jumps to the following
track numbers:
No. 9 → No . 15 → No. 10 → No. 11 → No . 12 → No.13 →
No. 14 → No. 9 (The cycle restarts from here.)
• Each press of the Track Down key jumps to the previous
track number to the track being played.
• When the number of total trucks of the MP3 disc is less
than 9, 1st truck is played.
• When the disc media is CD, a short press of the Preset
1 key jumps to the track number 28.
7. Audio-related specifications
• A short press of the Q key initiates the audio adjustment
mode.
• Pressing the ✽ key on the remote initiates the audio ad-
justment mode.
• Fader is selected to the initial item.
• Continuous holding of a remote control key is inhibited.
• Bass, Middle and Treble are adjusted in 3 steps of Min/
Center/Max with the Track Up/Down keys.
• Balance is adjusted in 3 steps of Left Max/Center/Right
Max with the Track Up/Down keys.
• Fader is adjusted in 3 steps of Rear Max/Center/Front
Max with the Track Up/Down keys.
• Bass f/Bass Q/Bass EXT/Middle f/Middle Q/Treble f are
not death with by the audio adjust.
8. Menu-related specifications
• A short press of the PLAY/PAUSE key initiates the Menu
mode.
• Pressing the DNPP/SBF key on the remote initiates the
Menu mode.
• Continuous holding of a remote control key is inhibited,
a short press initiates the Menumode.
• Contrast is adjusted in 3 steps of 0/5/10, with the trackup/
down keys.
9. Backup current measurement
When the unit is reset while ACC is OFF (i.e. by turning
Backup ON), the MUTE terminal goes OFF in 2 seconds
in place of 15 second. (The CD mechanism is not activated at this time.)
10. Special display when the display is all on
Pressing the Preset keys while the power is ALL OFF displays the follo wing information.

11.Other specifications
LINE MUTE inhibit time is 1 second from 10 second when
start up the test mode.
12.Switching the frequency span (K/M type)
While holding the preset q key and preset t keys, reset
the unit.
13.Response to OEM setting (destination of electronic volume setting)
