In order to take advantage of the system control operations, the components must be connected to the correct jacks. To use a CD player it must be connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the TAPE/MD jacks. When using more than one CD player (etc.) only the one connected to the specified jacks may be connected for system control.

Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Be sure to use the [XS8] system control mode when making system connections with equipment that is not [SL16] compatible.

Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment.

1. [SL16] equipment cannot be combined with [XR], [XS], and [XS8] equipment for system operations. If your equipment consists of this kind of combination, please do not connect any system control cords. Even without

system control cords, normal operations can be carried out without effecting performance.

2. Do not connect system control cords to any components other than those specified by KENWOOD. It may cause a malfunction and damage your equipment.

3. Be sure the system control plugs are inserted all the way in to the system control terminals.

Registering setup codes for KENWOOD audio components

• Once you finish making the system connections, be sure to register the appropriate setup code for each component.

If you own remote controllable KENWOOD audio components that are not compatible with system control (or cannot be combined with your other system control components), registering the setup code enables you to control those components using the remote control supplied with this unit (without connecting system control cords). To register setup codes for your remote controllable KENWOOD audio components, see

"Registering setup codes for other components".
