• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic
tools) inside the unit.
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s
display when you are driving for any extended
period.
• If you experience problems during installation,
consult your KENWOOD dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
• When you purchase optional accessories,
check with your KENWOOD dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and in
your area.
• You can select a language to display menus,
audio file tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P. 66).
• The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast

Ñ Protecting the monitor
• To protect the monitor from damage, do not
operate the monitor using a ball point pen or

Ñ Cleaning the unit
• If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with
a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then
wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.
NOTE
• Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the
surface or erase the screened print.
Ñ Lens fogging
When you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew may form on the lens in the
disc player of the unit due to condensation.
This condensation on the lens (also called lens
fogging) may not allow discs to play. In such a
situation, remove the disc and wait for the dew
to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate
normally after a while, consult your KENWOOD
dealer.
Ñ Precautions on handling discs
• Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.
• Do not stick tape etc. on the disc, or use a disc
with tape stuck on it.
• Do not use disc type accessories.
• Clean the disc from the center toward the
outside rim.
• When removing a disc from this unit, pull it out
horizontally.
• If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs,
use the disc only after removing the burrs with
a ballpoint pen etc.
• Discs that are not round cannot be used.
