Safety precautions

Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or cause the indicator letters to peel off.
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.
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.

Notes on playing MP3 files

This unit can play MP3 files. Note, however, that the MP3 file recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following restrictions.
Acceptable media
The MP3 file recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
Acceptable medium formats
The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 excluding the extended formats. When reading an MP3 file written in a format other than ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, the unit may fail to play the file normally or display the file or folder name correctly. The major specifications of ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files and folders per directory level: 253 (files and folders in total)
• Characters available to file and folder names: A - Z, 0 - 9, _(underscore)
• Maximum number of characters in file names:
Level 1 : 12 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension) Level 2 : 31 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, set the transfer bit rate of the encoder to fixed 128 kbps. When you use your CD writer to record MP3 files up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disk up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
Entering file and folder names
When entering file and folder names, use alphanumeric characters only. If entered with any other character, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used. Note that the unit cannot display ID tags even though they have been embedded in MP3 files. The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 files which have the MP3 filename extension (.MP3). MP3 files should therefore be saved with the MP3 extension.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3 files. 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. You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the medium.
When playing MP3 files on a medium which also contains non­MP3 files or folders, observe the following precautions. Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to break the speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 files as long as they have the MP3 extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3 file.
2CAUTION

MP3 file 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 to be recorded does not match the order in which they are played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 files 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 a folder search is executed with file currently being played, the unit selects folders as shown below, starting with folder .
When folder select is selected with file being played to move from folder to folder ...
During folder select, a virtual folder is created one hierarchical level below each folder. The hierarchy is displayed as if the MP3 file recorded in each folder were placed in that virtual folder. When the unit enters the folder select mode with file being played, it selects folders as shown below, starting with folder (virtual folder ).

• Each virtual folder is displayed with the original folder name bounded by parentheses " ( ) ". For example, the virtual folder below the folder named " 4 " is displayed with a name of " (4) ". The file name of each virtual folder is displayed with up to 29 characters (in the ISO 9660 Level 2 format) or 10 characters (in the ISO 9660 Level 1 format), excluding the binding parentheses.
• The FM button is disabled in a folder because it has no subordinate hierarchical level below. Immediately after entering the folder select mode as in the above example, therefore, the FM button cannot be used as there is no hierarchical level below folder . Once you have moved to folder using the folder select function, for example, you can use the FM button to select folder one level below.

Handling Compact discs

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or warped can cause the sound to skip and the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound quality. Take the following precautions to prevent your CDs from getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side opposite the label) when holding it.
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more fragile than that on an ordinary music CD, and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely to cause skipping when the disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this information carefully before using the disc.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot places. A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a music CD to damage from high temperatures and humidity, and in some cases, may become unusable if left in the car for long periods of time.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories
Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not use any CD which does not bear one of the following marks:
•CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone finalization processing cannot be played. (For more information on finalization processing, refer to the manual for your CD­R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the Labeled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on it. Using such a CD may cause the CD to be deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
