To register setup codes for your remote controllable KENWOOD audio components, see"Registering setup codes for other components". ‚• 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 mustbe connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the TAPE1/MD jacks.
