Safety precautions

2WARNING

To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:

• 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.

• 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.

• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to strong
shock.

2CAUTION

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

• 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.

• During installation, do not use any screws except for
the ones provided. The use of improper screws might
result in damage to the main unit.

• When drilling a hole in the car to fix the brackets,
make sure not to damage the fuel tank, brake tube,
wiring harnesses, etc. on the other side.

NOTE

• If you experience problems during installation,
consult your Kenwood dealer.

• If the unit does not seem to be working right, try
pressing the reset button on the control unit first.
If that does not solve the problem, consult your
Kenwood dealer.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel is dirty, wipe it clean with a silicon
cloth or soft dry cloth with the power off.

2CAUTION

• Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other

volatile solvents. These may damage external surfaces or
remove indicator characters.

ABCDEFG

An entrance to KTC-9090DAB

This unit performs operations with a control unit
such as a CD receiver or a cassette receiver.

1 The control units that can operate this unit are

divided into some groups by function. Make
sure to which group your control unit belongs.
If the operation or the function differs, it is
explained group by group.

After confirming the group, read the instructions for
the control unit of the corresponding group (page
4 - 10). Then go to the pages for each operation
(page 10).

2 On the upper right of each feature is a group

display. If the group can use that function, it’s
displayed as "A" if it can’t, it’s displayed as "Å".

3 Content of the display depends on the control

unit. In the case that the content of the display
is different, both the long name and short name
such as "AAAAA"/"BBB" are described.

NOTE

• The capital letters and small letters of the display can be
reversed.

Model list of Control unit

"Model Name = Group name, Note number" is
described model by model.

NOTE

• Control units released in 2005 and later belong to the
A*³ group unless otherwise described in the Instruction
Manual.

About DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting)

Thanks to the transmission of broadcast signals in
digital format, the DAB system can reproduce clearer
audio than conventional analogue broadcasting and
stabilise reception even in a mobile object such as a
vehicle.

In existing analogue broadcasting (e.g., FM), for a
broadcast station to broadcast one programme the
frequency must be changed and transmitted for each
region and when travelling over long distances it is
necessary to change the frequency.

Data Service

The DAB allots transmitting channels to the stations
in the same manner as in a TV station, allowing
one single channel to cover the whole area. A
station broadcasting through the channel is called
an Ensemble (Ensemble provider), providing more

than one Service. The Services include the Audio
programme and Data service.

• Also, the Services include various Service Information
such as the Service Label (name), network
information, etc. For example, information such as an
RDS station broadcasts is the same programming as
with the DAB services provided.

• Based on this data, when it is no longer possible to
receive the DAB, there will be automatic switching
to the RDS station which will allow continued
monitoring of the Service.

❈ Programme organisation has been created for

descriptive purposes and differs from actual
broadcasts. Also note that depending on time, the
number of programmes is subject to change.

Audio programme service consist of;

• Audio Modes

There are three modes: stereo, joint stereo , and
single channel (e.g., mono).

• Sound Quality

There are a variety of levels which range from sound
quality on par with a telephone to highquality
sound at the level of CD. There is also a mode that
cuts the sampling frequency in half to raise the
transfer efficiency.
Audio mode and sound quality are each used to
advantage in broadcasts depending on the contents
of the Service (Audio programme). In addition, the
textual information (Dynamic Label) related to the
service (Audio programme) can be transmitted.

Alarm announcement;

When an emergency programme is broadcast in
case of a disaster, all functions are interrupted and
switched to the alarm announcement.

Automatic Switching from DAB to RDS

Presently, the coverage areas of DAB stations are
smaller than those of RDS stations.

Therefore, when the receiving condition of a DAB
station deteriorates, the reception can be switched
automatically to the RDS station broadcasting the
same radio programme to minimize the sound
interruption. The DAB indicator blinks during the
period of switching to the RDS station.

Installation Procedure

1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the
battery.

2. Install the DAB antenna and connect the antenna
cable to the DAB hideaway tuner.

3. Connect the DAB hideaway tuner and the control
unit using the provided DAB connection cable.

4. Make the proper input and output cable
connections for each unit.

5. Install the unit in your car.

6. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.

7. Press the reset button on the control unit.

2CAUTION

• Do not connect the DAB control cable whilst the control unit

is turned ON.

• Be sure to press the reset button on the control unit after

installation.

• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system,

consult your Kenwood dealer.

• Make sure that all cable connections are securely made by

inserting jacks until they lock completely.

• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on

the car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent
short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of
the unconnected cables or the terminals.

• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar

material.

• Be sure to use the provided DAB antenna (Accessory 7, 8)
as the DAB antenna. Using other antenna than provide may
lead to malfunction.

• Take care so that the antenna cable and other connection
cables are not caught by mobile parts. Otherwise cable
disconnection or other trouble may result.

• Do not apply too much force on the antenna cable, other
connection cables and connectors by bending a cable, etc.
Otherwise cable disconnection or other trouble may result.

• Securely fasten the screws that fix the DAB antenna as well
as the screws of the DAB antenna itself. Screws that loosen
introduce the danger of the antenna coming apart during
travel.

• DC voltage is output from the DAB antenna terminal of
the DAB hideaway tuner to supply power to the DAB
antenna. Be sure to connect the supplied DAB antenna only.
Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

Installation

Mounting the DAB Antenna to the Roof

2WARNING

• If a hole to insert the antenna has burrs, remove them first.
Leaving burrs causes damage to the antenna cable leading
to accidents and failures.

2CAUTION

• Make a hole in the roof and mount the DAB antenna.
Specialized knowledge is required for this job and an installer
should be requested for the installation work.

• The DAB antenna should be mounted so that it does not
protrude beyond the width and length of the car.

• Do not install at a spot where the roof is markedly curved.
Doing so will allow water to enter from a gap between the
roof and the waterproof rubber.

• Securely fasten the screws that fix the DAB antenna as well
as the screws of the DAB antenna itself. Screws that loosen
introduce the danger of the antenna coming apart during
travel.

1 Determine the mounting position of the DAB

antenna. (It replaces with established FM / AM
antenna.)

2 Wipe away any dirt from the mounting position.
3 Remove the lining in a place where you can make a

hole in the roof.
Make a Ø19.5 mm round hole, or a 15mm
rectangular hole in the roof.

4 Mount the DAB antenna and fasten it by tightening

the nut from the inside.

5 Use a cable clamp to fix the antenna cable and

perform the wiring as far as the DAB hideaway unit.
