Precautions

WARNINGS

Ñ To prevent injury or fire, take
the following precautions:
· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic tools) inside the unit.
· Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s display when you are driving for any extended period.
· If you experience problems during installation, consult your KENWOOD dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
· When you purchase optional accessories, check with your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with your model and in your area.
· You can select a language to display menus, audio file tags, etc. See System Setup (P.56).
· The Radio Data System feature won’t work in areas where the service is not supported by any broadcasting station.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
· To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.
Ñ Cleaning the unit
· If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.
NOTE · Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erase the screened print.

Ñ Acquiring GPS signal
The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition. After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.
Ñ About GLONASS

Ñ Caution for Smartphone Users
Simultaneously running multiple applications on your smartphone while screen sharing places heavy demand on the microprocessor of the phone, potentially affecting communication and performance. For best results while pairing with your KENWOOD receiver, please be sure to close any unused applications.

Parametric Equalizer
In addition to the conventional Graphic Equalizer, this unit has a parametric equalizer, which allows you more precise adjustments. By using each equalizer properly, you can calibrate the unit more thoroughly. Adjustment using this function requires expertise.
When to Use Each Function
Parametric Equalizer Use this to finely correct or improve the frequency characteristics of the acoustics of the car in order to establish a basis for adjustments. Practiced ears or a measuring equipment may be required to apprehend the problems of the sound field inside the car.
Graphic Equalizer Use this to actively create an attractive sound as conventionally. Everybody can easily get the result through trial and error of intuitive operations. Even more effective adjustments are possible when the basis is established by using the Parametric Equalizer.
Ñ About the Parametric Equalizer
This system allows you to freely control the filter, frequency, Q factor (acuteness) and slope gain at 14 points consisting of 9 points common for front/rear/subwoofer, 2 points for front only, 2 points for rear only, and one point for subwoofer only.
NOTE
· Configure the Parametric Equalizer to establish the basis for adjustments before making adjustments using the Graphic Equalizer.
· The changes made using the Parametric Equalizer are not shown on the Graphic Equalizer screen.
· You can check the effects using the Parametric Equalizer ON/OFF key.

Controlling Audio
About Adjustments If there are unpleasant peaks, you can slide the peaking filter to the left or right and search the frequencies by ear. Studio engineers use this method to make adjustments quickly and efficiently. However, in order to identify peaks and dips of a car audio system, you have to capture the pink noise outputted from the speaker using a microphone and analyze it using a real time analyzer (RTA). From the analysis result, identify the peaks and/or dips that need to be corrected and configure the filters to cancel them.
About the Filters of Parametric Equalizer Filters allow you to remove or extract specific sound through signal processing.
Filter
NOTE · Cutoff frequency is the boundary between the
passband and the stopband. The definition of cutoff frequency is a frequency for which the output is -3 dB of the nominal passband value.

English 65

Controlling Audio
High-Pass Filter Passes signals with frequencies higher than a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency) and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency. Use this to pass only high-frequency signals. Use this in the following cases for example: For extracting the frequency band for separate tweeters. By extracting the specific frequency band, level adjustment can be made to the frequency band individually. The sound may be muddy when you play back low frequency sound. This occurs when frequencies below the speaker capacity is inputted. To cancel this, use the high-pass filter to cut off the frequencies below the speaker capacity.
dB
fc Hz
High-Shelving Filter/Low-Shelving Filter These filters reduce or increase signals above or below a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency), which create shelves in the frequency spectrums. A high-shelving filter reduces or increases the frequencies above the target frequency and a lowshelving filter reduces or increases the frequencies below the target frequency. The low shelf controls the lower frequencies and the high shelf controls the high frequencies. Use these in the following cases for example: When you want to change the volume of the tweeters, for example when they are close to your ears and are sounding too loud. When you want to change the subwoofer volume at hand.
dB

Peaking Filter
The frequencies in the vicinity of a certain frequency (f0: center frequency) are boosted or attenuated. Use this in the following cases for example: When you want to control a narrow range
of frequencies to correct the frequency abnormality in the car. To diminish a chattering noise from the speaker by attenuating the frequency range of the noise. To adjust of the sound balance of the whole range between the low end and the high end.
dB

f0 Hz
Low-Pass Filter Passes signals with frequencies lower than a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency) and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. Use this to pass only low-frequency signals. Use this in the following cases for example: For extracting the low frequencies band for a subwoofer. For extracting middle/low frequencies when you are using speakers with separate tweeters and you want to output the high frequencies to the tweeters and output the middle/low frequencies to the woofers. To cut the high frequencies when they are too loud.
