Marine Rated
Marine Receiver: At the factory, the Kenwood KMR-330 Marine
receiver has a special water-resistant conformal coating placed on its main
circuit board. This protects the circuitry from the harsh, corrosive marine
environment. The receiver has a special connection on the rear panel for the
KCA-RC60MR wired marine remote control (sold separately).
Water Resistant Covers (optional): Even though the conformal coating makes the
receiver water-resistant, it is still recommended that it be used with a
universal marine cover such as the Metra (120999005B,
sold separately) or Scosche (142ACM1,
sold separately)
Display Features
Detachable Face:
The unit features a single front loading CD face that detaches from the chassis
to deter theft. The CD player comes supplied with a soft black fabric, draw
string face case to protect the detachable face when you have it off the
chassis.
Security Code: You can enter a
4-digit security code which must be used when the unit is removed from the
vehicle, or the constant power source is disconnected from the unit. When
constant power is restored to the unit, the security code must be entered before
the unit becomes operational.
Display Illumination/Clock
Display: When the unit is in Standby mode, the face/button illumination
is "keyed." In addition, while the unit is in Standby mode, you can turn the
clock display on or off. When the Clock Display is turned on and the unit is in
Standby mode, the Clock Display is also "keyed." Pressing and holding the source
button turns the unit off completely.
Display Dimmer: The display has
two brightness settings. You can change this setting within the menu.
Demo Mode: This unit features a
Demo mode which can be turned "on" or "off" within the menu.
Audio Section
Selectable Preamp Output: The KMR-330' selectable preamp output allows
you to adjust from a full-range rear
speaker preamp output to a low-pass non-fading subwoofer preamp output.
Low Pass Filter: The receiver
features a built-in Low Pass Filter control for the preamp-output when the
unit's preamp output is set to Sub. You can select from 80, 120, 160 or off.
Subwoofer Level: Once you have
switched the preamp output to "subwoofer" you can independently control the
subwoofer preamp output level from the CD receiver. You select levels between
-15 to +15.
Rotary Volume Control: The CD receiver uses a 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.
Speaker Settings: The Speaker
Setting function tailors the System Q Sound Control settings according to the
type of speakers in your boat. You may select a Speaker Setting of "SP Off"
(flat), "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).
System Q Sound Control: Six 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 (10kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock,
Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, and Natural.
Bass/Treble/Mid Control: The
KMR-330 features independent Bass, Treble and Midrange control. You can adjust
each one from -8 to +8db. The bass frequency is adjusted at 100 Hz, the treble
frequency is adjusted at 10 kHz and the midrange frequency is adjusted at 1 kHz.
Bass Boost: The Kenwood CD
receiver also features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following
levels - BB1, BB2 or Off.
Source Tone Memory: This feature allows you to store System
Q bass, middle and treble tone settings
for each source (Aux, DVD, Portable, Game, Video, or TV).
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.
Attenuator: The CD receiver
features an Attenuator button on the supplied remote control that turns the
volume down very quickly with one touch of the button.
Radio Functions
CR-2 Advanced Tuner: This unit
uses Kenwood's CR-2 Advanced tuner for clear radio reception. You can choose one
of three tuning modes: Auto 1 (seek tuning), Auto 2 (cycles through and tunes
the selected band's preset stations only with each button press), or Manual.
Auto Memory Tuning: Not only
does the CD receiver's tuner allow you manually enter your desired presets you
can choose to have the unit automatically put stations with good reception in
the memory banks automatically; this is a handy feature when traveling. The
tuner features 3 FM banks (1, 2, 3) and 1 AM bank. You can store 6 presets for
each AM/FM bank giving you a total of 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets.
Clean Reception System Circuit
(CRSC): This circuit controls multi-path distortion by reducing stereo
separation. As stereo separation is reduced, multi-path has less effect on the
radio signal, improving reception in areas with tall buildings and mountains.
The CRSC circuit can be turned on or off.
HD Radio Ready (with iTunes Tagging): With an optional
Kenwood HD Radio tuner (113HR300, sold separately), you will be able to receive digital AM/FM
broadcasts from local stations where available. This new technology will
significantly improve audio quality and reception, as well as include
information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news, viewable on the
receiver's display.
Note: You cannot connect both a Satellite Radio
Interface and HD Radio tuner to the head unit.
Satellite Radio Ready: There are several options for
connecting an optional XM or SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver to this receiver:
Disc Playback
MP3/WMA/AAC Playback: The KMR-330 can play MP3 (8-320 kbps), WMA
(48-192 kbps), and AAC (8-320 kbps) files
recorded on CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet,
Romeo, and Long file name formats. Each disc should have a maximum of 8
directory levels, 50 folders, and 255 files per folder
with a maximum of 512 files and folders. During MP3/WMA
playback, the unit displays any recorded ID3 Tag
(Ver.1) information. The head unit will display up to 30 characters.
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.
Text/Title Scroll: The
KMR-330 will display CD text, Audio file text and Satellite radio
text. You can turn the
scrolling feature "on" to scroll longer titles across the screen.
Music Search: The Kenwood AM/FM CD receiver features a Music Search
feature which allows you to scroll through and select your MP3/WMA music folders
and files, as well as scroll through your audio CD's music tracks using the
head unit's rotary knob.
Last Position Memory:
If the unit is shut off or switched to the tuner mode while a CD is playing, the
next time CD is selected as the source, playback will resume from the point
where it left off.
Off Eject: The KMR-330 allows
you to eject your disc for 10 minutes after switching off the vehicles engine.
CD Force: When there is a
problem with playing a CD with a special format, this setting plays the CD by
force. Some CDs still may not play in the CD Force mode.
Changer Controls: This unit is directly compatible with Kenwood changers
manufactured in 1998 or later. If the changer has an O-N switch, the switch will
need to be set to the "N" position. In addition to basic disc navigation features, this
unit has the following changer controls: direct disc access (using the remote),
direct track access (using the remote), track intro scan, track repeat, disc
repeat, disc random, and magazine disc random. When connected to a CD Text capable
CD changer this unit can display disc and track titles for discs encoded
with disc and track title information. The text information can be scrolled
manually or automatically.
iPod/Aux Connection
Optional iPod Adapter: This receiver is compatible with the
optional Kenwood KCA-iP500 iPod control interface
(113IP500, sold separately). When an iPod is connected to the interface, all
of the iPod's controls will be disabled and it will be controlled from the
receiver. With this interface, you'll be able to play your iPod music files
through your Kenwood receiver and in most cases have all the titling information
appear on the receiver's display. The Kenwood KMR330 and the KCA-iP500 are "Made
for iPod" compatible and supports the following iPod model features (as of June.

Note: When you initially connect the iPhone to this
device the iPhone will display an error message. Press "No" on the
iPhone's display and the unit will begin working. This adapter will not
charge the iPod nano (4th/5th generation), iPod touch (2nd/3rd
generation), and iPhone (3G/3GS/4) without the use of the
142IFWA (sold separately). Apple software updates may change
functionality results. Not compatible with iOS 4.0 for iPhone or iPod
touch.
AUX Input: The
KMR-330 is equipped with a front panel 3.5mm mini-jack auxiliary input for
connecting external portable audio devices such as an MP3 player. The
KMR-330 allows you to select the source type displayed when using the
auxiliary input. You can choose from AUX, DVD, Portable, Game, Video or TV.
Rear Auxiliary Input "Ready": The unit already features a
front panel auxiliary input, but if you need a second auxiliary input, one can
be added to the rear of the unit. When used with an optional adapter, this unit
can accept a rear input from an auxiliary source. When the CA-C1AUX adapter (113CAC1AX,
sold separately) is used, you cannot connect a CD changer to the head unit
because the adapter plugs into the DIN changer control connection on the head
unit.
Bluetooth/Remote Control
Bluetooth Ready: The unit is also Bluetooth compatible using
the optional Kenwood KCA-BT300 Bluetooth adapter (113BT300,
sold separately). Using this adapter you can make and answer phone calls from
the Kenwood head unit. You can even download your Phonebook information from your
compatible mobile phone into the head unit. You are able to register up to five
compatible Bluetooth cell phones when using the KCA-BT300 adapter.
Note: Not all Bluetooth enabled mobile phones will be
compatible with this unit. Please visit Kenwood.com for a complete list of
compatible Bluetooth enabled phones.
Optional Wired Remote Control: The Kenwood Marine KMR-330 CD
receiver is compatible with Kenwood's add-on marine wired remote control KCA-RC60MR. The wired marine remote control is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. The KCA-RC60MR provides
backlit illumination so it is easy to see at night. The Kenwood add-on wired
remote features source selector, music search, and volume control buttons.
