If the unit is going to be operated from the centre unit:
The amount of bass boost and the opening/closing of the slide panel can be controlled from
the centre unit. Additionally, up to 3 power amplifiers can be set at the same time.
Kenwood centre units released in 1999 or later having an “EXT.AMP.CONT.” cable operate
this unit. Instructions on how to operate the centre unit will be found in the instruction manual
supplied with the centre unit.
NOTE
1
B.M.S. switch
This switch is used to select the range of
control operations that can be carried out
from the centre unit.
The bass boost only applies to the B
amplifier.
When the bass boost is switched ON, the
B.M.S. indicator glows.
• (REMOTE) OPEN/CLOSE position:
When the switch is in this position, only the
opening/closing of the slide panel can be
controlled from the centre unit; the bass
cannot be boosted.
• (REMOTE) B.M.S. position:
When the switch is in this position, any of
the three bass boost settings — FLAT,
+6dB and +12dB — can be selected from
the centre unit. If "+6 dB" or "+12 dB" is
selected, the slide panel will open.
• B.M.S. (+6) position:
When the switch is in this position, the
bass is boosted by 6dB, regardless of any
operation carried out from the centre unit.

B.M.S. FREQUENCY control
This control allows you to use the B.M.S. to
adjust the central frequency that you want
to emphasise.
3
OPEN/CLOSE button
When the B.M.S. switch is in the B.M.S.
(+6) position, the slide panel will open or
close each time the button is pressed.
When the B.M.S. switch is set to the
(REMOTE) position, the centre unit will
control the slide panel.
If you want to adjust the control inside the
slide panel, you can open/close the slide
panel temporarily by pressing the
OPEN/CLOSE button.
If the slide panel meets an obstacle whilst
sliding, the slide operation will be halted. If
this happens, remove the obstacle and then
press the OPEN/CLOSE button again.
When the B.M.S. is in the (REMOTE)
position, and control operations are carried
out on the centre unit, the slide panel will
return to the status set on the centre unit
even if it is opened/closed using the
OPEN/CLOSE button.
If the centre unit power is switched OFF, or
the vehicle engine is turned OFF, when the
slide panel is open, the slide panel will
automatically close.
When the power is turned back ON, or
when the vehicle engine is turned ON, the
slide panel will carry out an action
depending on the setting status of the
B.M.S. switch, as follows.
*If the B.M.S. switch is in the (REMOTE)
position, the slide panel will obey the
setting on the centre unit.
*If the B.M.S. switch is in the B.M.S. (+6)
position, the slide panel will return to its
original open state.
Take care not to allow your finger or any other
object to be trapped by the slide panel whilst
it is sliding.
