    Hi all,

    Is there someone who knows everything regarding the MP3 support of Kenwood multimedia receivers - in particular the KVT-729DVD?
    I have lots of MP3 files on a SD card (via a card reader in the USB port), and most of them play well on the Kenwood.

    However, there are quite a bunch of tracks that either:

    - Won't play at all. When you choose that track, it gets skipped completely en the system moves on to the next track that CAN be played back.

    - Plays scrambled. With noise and delayed by then times (sounding like a slow giant).

    Other car audio's do play these MP3's without any problems, and ofcourse the PC too.

    I was thinking about bitrate incompatibility , but when I look at the file details of the MP3's, there's no difference with the tracks that the Kenwood does play.
    For example, one music album containing 40 MP3 files, all at 320 kbps. And yet some of them will get skipped/distorted.
    So I guess it's not the files ... ?

    I first had firmware 1.0.4 on the 729DVD and have updated this to the latest 1.0.9, but that didn't resolve this problem.

    I really hope there's someone who knows what's the case here.

    Thanks.

    Look at the bit rate. Most HU's can only read a certian range .
