General

3-Point CD Posi-Lock Mechanism
Anchors CD securely in place at 3 points to ensure virtually skipfree play.

Al Edit Playback
Plays every track on a CD in a period of time specified by the user, by fading out the end of each track.

Audio DSP Listening Modes
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) recreates different sonic 'environments', simulating the acoustics of places like Arenas, Churches, and Clubs. Playing music through a DSP mode can create a more vivid, life-like listening experience.

Auto Power-Off
Conserves battery power by automatically shutting off the CD player 5 seconds after the disc has ended or 5 seconds after the STOP button has been pressed.

Battery Extender Case
A special adapter that connects to be back of certain model portable CD players to extend the battery operation time of the unit. It holds 2 standard AA batteries that trickle charge the CD player's internal batteries.

Digital Anti-Shock
A digital memory circuit that reads ahead of the CD laser and stores the musical data to decrease skipping. When movements or vibrations keep the laser from reading digital information, the stored data is retrieved from memory, providing uninterrupted playback. Most Kenwood models use 4 Mb memory buffer for a full 3 seconds of shock protection.

DSP Settings
Digital signal processing settings that provide various forms of sound enhancement, including:

DSP Settings (Bass Boost)
Enhances low-end sound reproduction for more dramatic bass output.

DSP Settings (Live)
Simulates a live concert environment by creating the delay time and reverberation typical of a live performance.

DSP Settings (Preset EQ)
Creates the optimal equalization effect for several types of music. Choose Pop, Rock or Fusion depending on music selection.

Inner Track Audible Scan
Audibly plays a track during manual scan.

Into ID Scan
Automatically plays the first 10 seconds of each track for easy song identification.

Key Hold
Disables all keys on the face of the player so they cannot be inadvertently activated.

Lightning-Recharge Battery System
Charges Kenwood Ni-Cad batteries in a fraction of the normal recharging time. A full charge is done in under 2 hours compared to 8 to 12 hours for standard Ni-Cads.

Mid-Track ID Scan
Automatically plays 20 seconds in the middle of each track for easy track identification.

Oil-Damped Suspension
Special oil-filled rubber suspension dampers that absorb vertical vibrations and improve tractability.

Resume Play
Remembers the point on the disc where play stopped and returns to that point at the next power on.

Shuffle Play
Randomly Plays all tracks on a disc without repeating one.

Vertical and Horizontal Oil-Damped Suspension
Special oil-filled rubber suspension dampers that absorb vertical and horizontal vibrations and improve tractability.
