Built-in Bluetooth
Bluetooth Technology: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD is equipped
with built-in Bluetooth ver. 3.0 (powered by Parrot) allowing you to make and
receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music
wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit. Bluetooth Technology is a
short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that was developed as a cable
replacement for mobile phones and other electronic devices. Bluetooth operates
in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1
megabit per second.
Bluetooth Profiles: In order to use Bluetooth wireless
technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to
interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth
Profiles:

automatically answer the incoming call immediately or after 1-99 seconds. The KDC-BT752HD also supports the Call Waiting
function, so you can answer another incoming call while suspending the current
call you are on. Your compatible cell-phone must also support this feature.

characters long. Stored phone numbers can be categorized by General, Home,
Office, Mobile, or Other. You can search each category of the phone book in
alphabetical order.
- Call Log: The Call Log is a list of calls that have
originated from and were received by this unit that you can dial. You can

Bluetooth for this feature to function.
Note: Do not read incoming SMS or reply to SMS while
driving.
Wireless Audio Streaming: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD also

enabled audio player or smartphone. The KDC-BT752HD will be able to control
basic playback functions of your Bluetooth device's stored music; such as

Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD utilizes a
24-bit digital to analog converter for superior CD sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the
KDC-BT752HD are as follows:
- Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4
ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD)
- Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels
3-Way Rotary Volume Control: The CD receiver uses a 3-way rotary volume
control that increases and decreases the volume of the stereo from 0 to 35. The
rotary knob also controls other audio settings such as Balance, Fader, Bass,
Mid, Treble and preset EQ settings. In addition, the rotary knob allows you to
scroll through and select your music tracks when the Music Search function is
activated.
Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently
adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one
source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux
source).
Speaker Settings: The Speaker
Setting function tailors the System Q Sound Control settings according to the
type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off'
(flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6"
and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers).
Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into
memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of
music. Each preset has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz),
and treble (12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock,
Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Game, and User.
Bass Boost: In addition, The Kenwood CD receiver features a
Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2 or Off).
Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to
make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off).
Source Tone Memory: This feature allows you to store System
Q bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB,
iPod, and Pandora).
Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit
rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function
restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded
at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and
the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original
sound stored in the audio file.
6ch/2.5V Preamp Outputs: The KDC-BT752HD features front, rear
and subwoofer 2.5-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs
are balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The
front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs are fixed to the rear chassis of the
head unit.
Front & Rear High-Pass Filter: The KDC-BT752HD features an
independent High-Pass Crossover for the front & rear channels when your front &
rear speakers are connected by the unit's speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You
can adjust the high-pass crossover from "Through", 100, 120, or 150 Hz. The
"Through" selection is a full-range setting. This feature is very helpful when

in the rear of the vehicle.

unit's subwoofer preamp output activated.

activated, you can independently control the
subwoofer preamp output level (-15 to +15) from the CD receiver.

a cell-phone mute wire (tan) in its harness that when hooked up to your car's
phone system mute wire will automatically mute the receiver's audio signal when
a call comes in.

confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.
Display Features
Detachable Face:
The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD features a single front loading CD face that detaches from the chassis
to deter theft. The head unit includes a cloth pouch for storing the face-plate when
detached. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if
desired.

sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit.
Fluorescent Display: The Kenwood head unit features a
single-line, 13-character, bluish-white backlit fluorescent display.
Variable Button Illumination: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD
features variable color button illumination. You can choose from one of 24
preset colors, have the unit scan through all 24 preset colors continuously, or
customize your own color (RGB; 0-9). The custom setting allows you to
individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue (from 0-9) to better
match your vehicle's interior lights. The Kenwood logo and eject button remain
red.
Illumination Dimmer: The head unit's fluorescent display has two
dimmers settings to adjust the brightness of the display according to the
surrounding illumination. You can switch the display dimmer setting On or Off.
The head unit's button illumination has an independent dimmer setting from the
display which lets you set the button illumination dimmer to LVL1, LVL2, or Off.
The Kenwood logo and eject button remain the same brightness.

is "keyed." When the Clock Display is turned on and

turned On or Off within the menu.

control Audio, CD, USB, Bluetooth, and Tuner functions. It is powered by a single CR2025 3V
lithium-cell battery (supplied).
- Numeric Keypad: The wireless remote control features a
numeric keypad (0-9) which allows direct track access of your music tracks &
files (from CD or USB), as well as AM/FM presets. You can also dial a phone
number using the remote's numeric keypad.

the supplied remote control that turns the volume down very quickly with one
touch of the button.

features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within
the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio
steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC SWI-JACK Steering
