What if I Have Several Kenwood Devices (System Control Chaining)?
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.

To switch between the two modes :
1. Slide the selector switch (shown below) from
SL16 (the factory-set default) to XS8.
2. Turn the receiver’s power switch off, and on
again.
System Control connection allows you to:
• See the current status of the selected source
device, such as Play or Stop (SL16 devices only).
• control connected devices via the remote
• switch the receiver’s input automatically to a
connected device when you start playback from
that device
• synchronize recording a CD automatically when
you start playback from the connected CD player
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.
