Features
- It may seem unlikely, but it's true. You can enjoy great audio on your boat, especially if you install a CD receiver like Kenwood's KTS-300MR. It's designed to stand up to harsh marine environments, and deliver sound that'll rock you over the roll of the ocean.
- Life on the water can be tough, but this CD receiver's ready for the challenge. Its internal circuit boards are specially coated to keep salt and corrosion out. The waterproof front panel and fold-down CD door keep everything inside the player nice and dry. And you can read the information on its large, backlit display, even in bright sunlight.

- If you keep your boat in drydock during the offseason, you'll really appreciate the full memory backup feature. It'll save your audio settings and preset radio stations, even when there's no power going to the stereo. When you get your boat back on the water, you won't have to bother resetting anything.
- A strong internal amp plays your music forcefully, so you won't have to strain to hear it. Two sets of preamp outputs give you the option of connecting external amplifiers for even more power and clarity. And you can shape your sound with the six preset tone settings and the adjustable bass, treble, and midrange controls.
- This receiver will play your standard and home-burned CDs, and offers AM/FM reception. You can also enjoy SIRIUS or XM miles offshore when you connect a compatible satellite radio and antenna (subscription required). And the optional Kenwood iPodŽ control interface lets you play and control your iPod with the KTS-300MR.

- Features
- Marine Ready: To make the KTS-300MR suitable for a marine environment, the circuit board is coated with a special water-resistant epoxy and a connector for an optional wired remote is soldered onto the circuit board. The unit also features a waterproof front panel and fold-down CD door. For increased protection, this unit comes with a waterproof shield, which can be placed over the top of the chassis before installation.
- 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: Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, and Flat. In addition, you may store your own settings under the "User Memory" EQ curve. Each preset has its own bass level, middle level, and treble level settings. Each level setting can be adjusted from -8 to +8.
- Switchable Rear/Subwoofer Preamp Outputs: You can switch the rear preamp output to a subwoofer output for use with subwoofer amps. Once in the subwoofer mode, you can adjust the level of that output from -15 to +15 in 2dB steps. In addition, you can choose the cutoff frequency of the subwoofer output's 12dB/octave low-pass filter from 50Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz, or Thru (no filter).
- High-pass Filter: TheKTS-300MR has an adjustable 12dB/octave high-pass filter for the front and rear channels. You can select a cutoff frequency of 100Hz, 125Hz, 170Hz, or Thru (no filter).
- Note: The high pass filter only affects the rear preamp outputs when they are switched to "rear", not "subwoofer."
- 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.
- Disc/Station Naming: You can enter and store names of up to 12 characters for CDs and radio stations. Characters can include upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols, and special accent characters. The memory can store names for up to 48 stations (32 FM/16 AM) and 30 discs in the internal CD player. The number of disc names you can store for an external CD changer depends upon the capability of the changer.
- Dual Zone System: The KTS-300MR's Dual Zone System allows you to output one source to the front channels and another source to the rear channels. The main source can be the internal disc player or tuner, while the sub source can be a satellite radio tuner, CD changer, or component connected to the optional auxiliary input adapter. You can assign the sub source to either the front or rear channels.
- Built-in Amp Switch: If the audio signals are output to external amplifiers, you can turn off the internal amplifier to improve audio quality.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Display Dimmer: When the dimmer control is set to "on", the display automatically dims when the vehicle lights are turned on. When set to "off", the display doesn't dim.
- Note: In order for the display dimmer feature to operate, the orange/white wire in the supplied wiring harness must be connected to the vehicle's headlight circuit.
- Bass Management System (B.M.S.): The receiver can remotely adjust the bass boost level of a compatible Kenwood external amplifier with Bass Management System. When properly connected (the pink/black wire on the receiver harness needs to be connected to the amplifier), the head unit can set the bass boost to Flat, +6dB, +12dB, and +18dB (when the amp is capable). Also, you can set the bass boost center frequency to Normal (set by the amp), or Low (lowered by 20%).
- Wired Remote Compatibility: This receiver can be controlled by an optional wired remote control.
- External Device Controls
- HD Radio Ready: With an optional Kenwood HD Radio tuner (item # 113HR100TR), 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.
- Satellite Radio Ready: There are several options for connecting an optional XM or SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver to this receiver:
- XM Satellite Radio: To receive XM Satellite Radio, you can connect the optional CNP2000UC XM Mini Tuner (220CNP20UC) and the Kenwood CNP-KEN1 adapter cable (package item number 700XMKEN1).
- SIRIUS Satellite Radio: To receive SIRIUS Satellite Radio, you can connect the optional SIRIUS Universal Vehicle Tuner (607SCC1) and the optional Kenwood Sirius Satellite Radio Interface (113KCASR50).
- Auxiliary Input: A portable satellite radio receiver, such as the Delphi SkyFi3 or SIRIUS Sportster, can be connected to the head unit via the auxiliary input or a Kenwood Auxiliary Input Adapter, such as the CA-C1AX, CA-C2AX, or KCA-S220A.
- Note: A subscription is also required to receive satellite radio programming from SIRIUS or XM.
- Optional iPod Adapter: This receiver is compatible with the optional Kenwood KCA-iP500 iPod control interface (item # 113IP500).
- 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. When used with a compatible CD changer, this feature allows you to assign names to discs in the changer. Each name can be up to 12 characters in length. The number of names you can store depends on the CD changer that is connected to the head unit.
- Auxiliary Input "Ready": When used with an optional adapter, this unit can accept input from an auxiliary source. When the CA-C1AX adapter (item 113CAC1AX) or CA-C2AX (113CAC2AX) 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. When the KCA-S220A 2-changer switch (item 113KCAS220) is used, you can connect a CD changer and an auxiliary audio source at the same time. When an auxiliary audio source is connected, you can choose from one of six names for the source: Aux Ext, TV, DVD, Video, Game, or Portable.
