Before Use

Precautions

⚠️ WARNINGS

To prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions:

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic tools) inside the unit.
- Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit's display when you are driving for any extended period.
- If you experience problems during installation, consult your KENWOOD dealer.

Precautions on using this unit

  • When you purchase optional accessories, check with your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with your model and in your area.
  • You can select a language to display menus, audio file tags, etc. See System Setup (P.58).
  • The Radio Data System feature won't work in areas where the service is not supported by any broadcasting station.

Protecting the monitor

- To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.

Cleaning the unit

- If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.

NOTE

- Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erase the screened print.

Acquiring GPS signal

The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.

After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

About GLONASS

This unit uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) in addition to GPS.

Combining GPS and GLONASS can refine positioning accuracy than using GPS only.

Caution for Smartphone Users

Simultaneously running multiple applications on your smartphone while screen sharing places heavy demand on the microprocessor of the phone, potentially affecting communication and performance.

For best results while pairing with your KENWOOD receiver, please be sure to close any unused applications.

Parametric Equalizer

In addition to the conventional Graphic Equalizer, this unit has a parametric equalizer, which allows you more precise adjustments. By using each equalizer properly, you can calibrate the unit more thoroughly.

Adjustment using this function requires expertise.

When to Use Each Function

●Parametric Equalizer

Use this to finely correct or improve the frequency characteristics of the acoustics of the car in order to establish a basis for adjustments.

Practiced ears or a measuring equipment may be required to apprehend the problems of the sound field inside the car.

●Graphic Equalizer

Use this to actively create an attractive sound as conventionally.

Everybody can easily get the result through trial and error of intuitive operations.

Even more effective adjustments are possible when the basis is established by using the Parametric Equalizer.

KENWOOD DMX9720XS - ●Graphic Equalizer - 1

About the Parametric Equalizer

This system allows you to freely control the filter, frequency, Q factor (acuteness) and slope gain at 14 points consisting of 9 points common for front/rear/subwoofer, 2 points for front only, 2 points for rear only, and one point for subwoofer only.

NOTE

  • Configure the Parametric Equalizer to establish the basis for adjustments before making adjustments using the Graphic Equalizer.
  • The changes made using the Parametric Equalizer are not shown on the Graphic Equalizer screen.
  • You can check the effects using the Parametric Equalizer ON/OFF key.

About Adjustments

If there are unpleasant peaks, you can slide the peaking filter to the left or right and search the frequencies by ear. Studio engineers use this method to make adjustments quickly and efficiently.

However, in order to identify peaks and dips of a car audio system, you have to capture the pink noise outputted from the speaker using a microphone and analyze it using a real time analyzer (RTA). From the analysis result, identify the peaks and/or dips that need to be corrected and configure the filters to cancel them.

About the Filters of Parametric Equalizer

Filters allow you to remove or extract specific sound through signal processing.

Filter

NOTE

- Cutoff frequency is the boundary between the passband and the stopband. The definition of cutoff frequency is a frequency for which the output is -3 dB of the nominal passband value.

●High-Pass Filter

Passes signals with frequencies higher than a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency) and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency. Use this to pass only high-frequency signals. Use this in the following cases for example:

- For extracting the frequency band for separate tweeters. By extracting the specific frequency band, level adjustment can be made to the frequency band individually.

- The sound may be muddy when you play back low frequency sound. This occurs when frequencies below the speaker capacity is inputted. To cancel this, use the high-pass filter to cut off the frequencies below the speaker capacity.

KENWOOD DMX9720XS - ●High-Pass Filter - 1

line | Frequency [Hz] | Amplitude [dB] | | -------------- | -------------- | | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 1 | | 3 | 1 | | 4 | 1 | | 5 | 1 | | 6 | 1 | | 7 | 1 | | 8 | 1 | | 9 | 1 | | 10 | 1 | | 11 | 1 | | 12 | 1 | | 13 | 1 | | 14 | 1 | | 15 | 1 | | 16 | 1 | | 17 | 1 | | 18 | 1 | | 19 | 1 | | 20 | 1 | | 21 | 1 | | 22 | 1 | | 23 | 1 | | 24 | 1 | | 25 | 1 | | 26 | 1 | | 27 | 1 | | 28 | 1 | | 29 | 1 | | 30 | 1 | | 31 | 1 | | 32 | 1 | | 33 | 1 | | 34 | 1 | | 35 | 1 | | 36 | 1 | | 37 | 1 | | 38 | 1 | | 39 | 1 | | 40 | 1 | | 41 | 1 | | 42 | 1 | | 43 | 1 | | 44 | 1 | | 45 | 1 | | 46 | 1 | | 47 | 1 | | 48 | 1 | | 49 | 1 | | 50 | 1 | | Note: The frequency values are not explicitly provided in the code, so they are represented as 'bc' in the chart.

●High-Shelving Filter/Low-Shelving Filter

These filters reduce or increase signals above or below a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency), which create shelves in the frequency spectrums. A high-shelving filter reduces or increases the frequencies above the target frequency and a low-shelving filter reduces or increases the frequencies below the target frequency. The low shelf controls the lower frequencies and the high shelf controls the high frequencies. Use these in the following cases for example:

- When you want to change the volume of the tweeters, for example when they are close to your ears and are sounding too loud.

- When you want to change the subwoofer volume at hand.

●Peaking Filter

The frequencies in the vicinity of a certain frequency (f0: center frequency) are boosted or attenuated. Use this in the following cases for example:

- When you want to control a narrow range of frequencies to correct the frequency abnormality in the car.

- To diminish a chattering noise from the speaker by attenuating the frequency range of the noise.

- To adjust of the sound balance of the whole range between the low end and the high end.

●Low-Pass Filter

Passes signals with frequencies lower than a certain frequency (fc: cutoff frequency) and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. Use this to pass only low-frequency signals. Use this in the following cases for example:

- For extracting the low frequencies band for a subwoofer.

- For extracting middle/low frequencies when you are using speakers with separate tweeters and you want to output the high frequencies to the tweeters and output the middle/low frequencies to the woofers.

- To cut the high frequencies when they are too loud.

Connection/Installation

This section is for the professional installer.

For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.

Before Installation

Before installation of this unit, please note the following precautions.

⚠️ WARNINGS

  • If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
  • Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse.

CAUTION

• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.

NOTE

  • Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For best safety, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.
  • Do not install the unit if it becomes an obstacle to driver performance.
  • Adjust the panel position not to become an obstacle to driver performance.
  • Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.
  • Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
  • Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

  • If the power is not turned ON ("There is an error in the speaker wiring. Please check the connections." is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be checked.

  • If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, such as with battery wires, the battery may be drained.
  • If the console has a lid, the lid will not be closed even when the unit is installed correctly.
  • If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
    • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
  • Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
  • When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the connector to a rear output terminal.
    • After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
  • Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30irc or less.
  • This unit has the cooling fan to decrease the internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the cooling fan of the unit is blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result in malfunction.

KENWOOD DMX9720XS - NOTE - 1

  • Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise scars, damage, or failure may result.
  • Reception may drop if there are metal objects near the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antenna.
