Safety precautions
2WARNING
To prevent injury or fire, take the
English
following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD
is damaged or broken due to shock. The
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your
health or even fatal.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.

To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.

avoid places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one

Handling Compact discs
COMPACT
DIGITAL AUDIO
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
English
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.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Tape
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.
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, 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.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight (such as a car seat or the
dashboard) or other hot places.
• 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.
Burrs
Burrs
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
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.
