More Stupid Web Sites
The Kenwood in my car is acting up. Frequently it'll fail to play the CD in the head unit, eventually showing me the code E-99, and other times it'll spit out a E-04 right away and flash the LED that says I have a CD in the unit.
About half the time it'll actually play the CD.
I also think it's damaging the discs that go into it; my Tom Petty CD was skipping pretty badly, but burning a copy of it and playing that made the skipping go away. My FMHg disc also plays more reliably now that I'm using a copy.
I've tried using one of those head-cleaner discs, which didn't seem to do anything, and may have accelerated the problem.
Anyway, ranting about the player itself is only part of the reason I came here today. The other bit is about the Kenwood web site. If you go here, you'll see all the in-dash CD players they offer. Please note that the KDC-2025 is not among them. The archaic unit in my car is from 2004, so maybe that's not too big a surprise.
My next stop is the support page, where they give a link to get owners manuals online. Well, that's a good start. Now to be honest, if I could ever remember to do this while I'm at home I could look in the real manual, wherever I hid it, but this is promising.
I click the link and get:
Yep, too many people are using the web site. I didn't know Kenwood was hosted by Geocities. But given how much attention they apparently pay to technological things, I have to say I'm not really surprised.
