Md Recorder - Kenwood VR-3100 Connection And Setup Manual

Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices
Kenwood provides convenient control of the entire
system via two control modes:
• SL16, which allows you to connect SL16 devices
only
• XS8, which allows you to connect XS, XS8, and
XR devices
You cannot mix SL16 and XS8 settings. All devices
connected via system control cables must use the
same setting.

What if I Have Several Kenwood Devices (System Control Chaining)?
To switch between the two modes :
1 . Slide the selector switch (shown below) from
SL16 (the factory-set default) to XS8.
2 . VR-3100/VR-3090 : Unplug the AC power cord
and plug it back in.
KRF-V9992D : Turn the receiver's power switch
off, and on again.
System Control connection allows you to:

Make sure the units are connected to the correct
jacks on the receiver—for example, no device
connected to the CD2/TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks can
use a system control cable.
Some CD players and cassette decks do not support
the SL16 system control mode. Do not include these
devices in a set of SL16 chained connections; where
appropriate, use the XS8 mode instead.
Do not mix connections of the two modes: if a
device does not support the mode you are using for
chaining, do not connect that device.
Do not connect system control cables to any device
not specified by Kenwood. Using system control
functions with a device that does not support them
can damage the device.
Make sure system control plugs are firmly seated in
the appropriate jacks.
