To prevent damage to the machine, take

the following precautions:

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V

DC power supply.

• 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.

• Do not set the removed faceplate or the faceplate

case in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive

heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much

dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the

terminals of the unit or faceplate with your

fingers.

• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock,

as it is a piece of precision equipment.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with

the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong

rating may cause your unit to malfunction.

• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse,

first disconnect the wiring harness.

• Do not place any object between the faceplate

and the unit.

• Do not apply excessive force to the moving

faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or

malfunction.

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 automotive-grade wires

or other wires with a 0.75mm² (AWG18) or more

to prevent wire 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.

The unit may break or crack because it contains

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 folders:

KDC-X979; 100

KDC-MP925/X879; 50

• Maximum number of files and folders

(KDC-MP925/X879): 512

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

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.

• Play mode may not be possible when portions of the

functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.

Entering ID3 tag

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.

English

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to

damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/

WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension.

The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data

as long as they have the MP3/WMA extension.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/

WMA.

MP3/WMA 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

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.
