This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Main elements and features
For USA-California Only: This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium Battery which contains Perchlorate Materialspecial handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate Aim the remote controller directly at the remote sensor on the unit. Make sure there is no obstacle in between.
Do not install any battery other than CR2025 or its equivalent; otherwise, it may explode. Do not leave the remote controller in a place (such as dashboards) exposed to direct sunlight for a long time; otherwise, it may explode. Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach to avoid risk of accident. To prevent the battery from over-heating, cracking, or starting a fire: Do not recharge, short, disassemble, heat the battery, or dispose of it in a fire. Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials. Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools. Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when throwing away or saving it.

More about this unit

ENGLISH Basic operations

Turning on the power
By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
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 Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
General Turning off the power
If you turn off the power while listening to a track, playback starts from where it has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power. This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats. When a disc is inserted upside down, PLEASE and EJECT appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc. MP3 and WMA tracks (words file and track are used interchangeably) are recorded in folders. While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

General

If you change the source while listening to a disc or an iPod, playback stops. Next time you select CD or IPOD as the playback source, playback starts from where it has been stopped/paused previously. After ejecting a disc or disconnecting an iPod, NO DISC or NO IPOD appears and you cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc, reconnect an iPod, or press SRC to select another playback source.

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.

Tuner operations

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.
EN12-19_KD-APD58_50[J]f.indd 16

10/27/06 3:45:10 PM

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.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter caseupper/lower). This unit can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files. This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed. This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below: Bit rate: 8 kbps 320 kbps Sampling frequency: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1) 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2) 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 (includes 4 extension characters<.mp3> or <.wma>). ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters Romeo: up to 128 characters Joliet: up to 64 characters Windows long file name: up to 128 characters This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies. 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.

If you try to assign titles to more than 30 station frequencies, NAMEFULL appears. Delete unwanted titles before assignment.

General settingsPSM

AUTO setting for DIMMER may not work correctly on some vehicles, particularly on those having a control dial for dimming. In this case, change DIMMER setting to any other than AUTO. 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.

Maintenance
ENGLISH 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.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge. Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

To play new discs

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.

Connector

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases: After starting the heater in the car. If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
Do not use the following discs:

Warped disc Sticker

Sticker residue

How to handle discs

Center holder When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges. Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface. When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up). Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

Troubleshooting
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service center. Symptoms
Remedies/Causes Adjust the volume to the optimum level. Check the cords and connections. Reset the unit (see page 3). Store stations manually. Connect the antenna firmly. Insert the disc correctly.
