Kenwood car stereo problem

[Bill in SD, CA]

Bought a new Kenwood car stereo/cd/mp3/wma deck today to replace the deck some drug crazed idiot tried to steal and wasn't smart enough to do so without destroying it.

Model: KDC-MP425

I get home after the installation and threw in a mp3 disk I had to see how it played.

Played great EXCEPT it divides every track into 50 second increments.

Every mp3 I tried - same thing.

Beatles - Come Together - track #1 - 50 seconds - stop.

Switches to track #2 and picks up a second later where it left off.

50 seconds later stops and goes to track #3 and picks up where it left off.

The CD plays fine on my computers and other mp3 players I have.

Defective deck?

I was looking through the manual for your receiver at here: ftp://docs.kenwoodusa.com/manuals/OM...-2004-KUSA.pdf

I couldn't find anything specific about this...nothing on a quick Google search came up. But did you read the page titled "Notes on playing MP3/WMA" (Page 8) in the manual? It does mention a few things to do, such as when you use a CD-RW, "do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction."

Try to see if it works with a CD-R burned with Disc-At-Once and Finalized if the disc you're using isn't burned this way yet. Does it do the same thing with regular CDs? (Yeah, you probably have to dig them out from somewhere, right? )
