Other external component
operations
You can connect an external component to
the LINE IN plugs on the rear, and another to
the CD changer jack on the rear using the Line
Input Adapter—KS-U57 (not supplied) or AUX
Input Adapter—KS-U58 (not supplied).
• For connection, see Installation/Connection
Manual (separate volume).

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

For listening to the iPod or D. player, refer to
pages 17 and 18.

Turn on the connected component
and start playing the source.
Adjust the volume.

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
VCD/CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the VCD/CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates.

How to handle discs

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can
also turn on the power. If the source is ready,
playback also starts.

Turning off the power

New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.
• For MP3/WMA discs, playback will start from
the beginning of the last playing track.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
Do not use the following discs:
Warped disc
Sticker

Sticker residue
Stick-on label

• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, the
previously preset station is erased when a new
station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of NonDVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.

Inserting a disc

Playing a VCD disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.

• The PBC function is not available for some
VCDs.
• The PBC function is automatically canceled
when you change the source or turn off the
unit. Playback starts from the beginning of the
dics when you play the VCD again.
• The On-Screen Display (OSD) will
automatically canceled when you change the
source or turn off the unit.

Playing a disc
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only files of the same
type which are first detected if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/
WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, or for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective
seal stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly
printed by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidities may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.

– Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2,
Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name
• The maximum number of characters for file/
folder names vary among the disc format used

• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR
(variable bit rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this
difference becomes noticeable.
• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of
200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and
MP3 PRO format.

format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1.
– WMA files encoded with lossless,
professional, and voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon
Windows Media® Audio.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have the data such as WAVE,
ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is
not constant.

Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “DISC” for the playback
source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.
• For MP3/WMA discs, playback will start
from the beginning of the last playing track.

General settings—PSM
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
unit automatically changes the volume level to
“VOL 30.”

iPod® or D. player operations
• When you turn on this unit, the iPod or
D. player is charged through this unit.
• While the iPod or D. player is connected, all
operations from the iPod or D. player are
disabled. Perform all operations from this
unit.
• If the text information includes more than
8 characters, it scrolls on the display (see
also page 15). This unit can display up to 40

which you used for recording.
• Unlock the disc (see page 13).
• Eject the disc forcibly (see page 2).
• Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.

Playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused
by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
