About the supplied remote control

Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several operation
modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In order to
effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a proper
understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation modes
may result in incorrect operations.

• 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 MD/TAPE 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. Do not make 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.
Notes
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.
