Safety precautions
NOTE
• If you experience problems during
English
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press
the RESET button. The unit returns to
factory settings when the RESET button is
pressed. If the unit still fails to operate
properly after the RESET button has been
pressed, contact your local KENWOOD
dealer for assistance.
•Press the reset button if the disc auto

incorrectly. The original operating condition
will return.
Reset button
• The illustrations of the display and the
panel appearing in this manual are
examples used to explain more clearly how
the controls are used. Therefore, what
appears on the display in the illustrations
may differ from what appears on the
display on the actual equipment, and some
of the illustrations on the display may
represent something impossible in actual
operation.
• The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players
being connected.
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 the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.
2CAUTION
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect 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 erases characters.
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD
slot.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have listened to many cassettes
over a long period of time, magnetic powder
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use
in car audio systems.
Handling Cassette Tapes
• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone
slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a
pencil or the like in one of the spools.
Playing slack cassette tapes can result in the
tape tangling around the capstan and/or
pinch rollers, causing trouble.
• Do not play a deformed cassette or one
whose label is starting to come off, as it can
cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on
dashboards and other spots exposed to
direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They
can deform the cassette.
•Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,
such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes
are very thin, and can tangle easily around
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the
unit, causing unit failure.
• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when
not listening to it for a while. If you leave a
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction.

Handling Compact discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
incorrectly, resulting in worsened
sound quality. Take the following
precautions to prevent your CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(the side opposite the label) when holding
it.
The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is
•
more fragile than that on an ordinary music
CD, and may peel off if scratched.
Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also
more likely to cause skipping when the disc is
played. For these reasons, handle the disc
very carefully. Detailed handling instructions
will appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package:
read this information carefully before using
the disc.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Tape
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to
direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the
dashboard) or other hot places. A CD-R or
CD-RW is more susceptible than a music
CD to damage from high temperatures and
humidity, and in some cases, may become
unusable if left in the car for long periods
of time.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not
listening to them for a while, and put them
back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs
that are removed from their cases or prop
them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
center of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip while playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.

Handling Compact discs
Do Not Load CD Accessories
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD
slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets,
English
or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause
the unit to malfunction.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may
damage the surface of the CD if you try
pulling it down as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for
this unit and do not use any special shape
CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause
the unit to malfunction.
This unit can only play the CDs with
•
.
It may not correctly play disks which do not have
the mark.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not
undergone finalization processing cannot
be played. (For more information on
finalization processing, refer to the manual
for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or
CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally,
depending on the recording status, it may
prove impossible to play certain CDs
recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labeled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker
stuck on it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off,
resulting in malfunction of the unit.
