To prevent injury or fire, take the
English
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 automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm

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.

NOTE
• If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the
Reset button. The unit returns to factory
settings when the Reset button is pressed.
If the unit still fails to operate properly after
the Reset button has been pressed, contact
your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.
•Press the reset button if the disc auto
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal

•We recommend the use of <Security Code>
(page 40) to prevent theft.
• The illustrations of the display and the panel
appearing in this manual are examples used
to explain more clearly how the controls are
used. Therefore, what appears on the display
in the illustrations may differ from what
appears on the display on the actual
equipment, and some of the illustrations on
the display may represent something
impossible in actual operation.
• There are places in this manual where lit
indicators are described; however, the only
time an indicator will light is in the following
settings.
KDC-X969: at <Text Display Switching>
(page 20), when the lower text display part is
set to "CLOCK".
KDC-X869/KDC-MP922: when Display Mode
is set to "Display Type A" .
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Unit
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain
off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may
affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch
the surface or erases characters.
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD
slot.
RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a service used by radio stations to
transmit data outside normal radio broadcast
signals.
When an RDS station is received, you can
immediately find out what kind of data is being
transmitted by looking at the program service
name, which appears in the display after the
frequency.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission (announcing
disasters, etc.) is made, the current function
will be interrupted to allow the warning to be
received under the following conditions:
during tuner reception, or when the Traffic
Information function is turned on.
About Sirius Satellite radio tuner

Notes on playing MP3/WMA
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note,
however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats
acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to
the following restrictions.
English
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 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: 100 (KDC-X969)
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
50 (KDC-X869/ KDC-MP922)
Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions of
Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.
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.
Entering ID3 tag and Contents Description
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
with the MP3/WMA extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA
they have the MP3/WMA extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder

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.
