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.
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 has evaporated.
How to handle discs
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 in its case, gently insert the
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface
facing up).
• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.
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 solvents (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine,
etc.) to clean discs.

Do not use the following discs:
– 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.
FM Radio Data System operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types
of Radio Data System signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency)
to work correctly. Without receiving these data
correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not
operate correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby

General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD
Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable)
in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3/WMA (for KD-R203)
formats.
• KD-R203: MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and
“track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in
“folders.”
• KD-R203: 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.

• KD-R203: This unit can only play back files of the same
type as those which are detected first 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 be played back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for
the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the
“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 protective seal stuck
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperature or high
humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc (for KD-R203)
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/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 depending on 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,
200 folders, and 8 hierarchical levels.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable
bit rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the
elapsed time display, and do not show the actual
elapsed time. In particular, this difference becomes
noticeable after performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format.
– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded in lossless, professional, and
voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon Windows
Media®Audio.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have 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 “CD” for the playback source,
disc play starts from where it has been stopped
previously.
Ejecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,
it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again
to protect it from dust.
• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you
cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another
disc or press SRC to select another playback source.
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.”
