Frequently Asked Questions - XD-981MD KENWOOD
How do I connect the speakers to the XD-981MD?
Use the color-coded speaker terminals on the rear panel. Connect the left speaker to the L terminal and the right speaker to the R terminal. Ensure the polarity (+/-) matches to avoid phase cancellation. For best results, use the included speaker wires and tighten the terminal screws securely.
Can I record from a CD to MiniDisc?
Yes, the XD-981MD allows direct recording from CD to MD. Insert a blank MiniDisc, select the CD source, press REC and then PLAY on the MD section. The system will start synchro recording with a 4-second track marker automatically.
How do I set the clock on this system?
Press the CLOCK button on the remote control or front panel. Use the TUNING / buttons to set the hour, press ENTER, then set the minutes and confirm. The clock will display in standby mode when the system is turned off.
What types of discs can I play on the CD player?
The CD player supports standard audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. It can play finalized MP3 or WMA files from CD-R/RW for added convenience. Do not use discs with adhesive labels or scratches.
How do I clean the CD lens?
A dirty lens can cause playback errors. Use a commercially available lens cleaner disc designed for CD players. Insert it into the CD tray and press play. For heavy contamination, contact a service center. Never use chemical solvents directly on the lens.
Does this system have Bluetooth or USB connectivity?
No, the Kenwood XD-981MD was designed before Bluetooth and USB inputs became standard. It offers an auxiliary audio input (3.5 mm stereo) on the front panel, so you can connect external devices like smartphones or tablets using a 3.5 mm-to-3.5 mm cable.
How do I replace the remote control batteries?
Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Insert two new AAA (LR03) batteries, ensuring correct polarity as marked. Close the compartment. Remove the batteries if the remote is not used for a long time to avoid leakage.
Can I use this hi-fi system with my television?
Yes, you can connect your TV's audio output to the AUX IN jack on the front panel of the XD-981MD. Use a stereo audio cable with RCA connectors to the TV's audio out, or a 3.5 mm cable to the headphone jack if your TV has one. Then select AUX as the source.
What is the maximum output power of the amplifiers?
The built-in amplifier delivers a maximum of 2 x 30 W RMS into 6 ohms, with a total dynamic power of around 60 W. This is sufficient for a typical living room but may not be enough for very large rooms.
How can I improve the FM radio reception?
To get better FM reception, fully extend the included FM antenna and position it near a window. You can also connect an outdoor FM antenna to the designated adaptor (75 ohms). Use the RDS function to display station information if available in your region.
