• If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the RESET button. When the faceplate is not visible, slide the manual open switch (as illustrated on p.7) for as many times as you have preset to make the faceplate control appear. 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 CD auto changer is first controlled and operates incorrectly. The original operating condition will return.
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
NOTE
Mask key
If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal once to the unit in advance, you will have to transmit it once again if the unit has been removed from the battery. This function helps prevent theft. When using the unit for the first time: In order to deactivate the demonstration mode, be sure to press the transmit button to transmit the Mask Key's signal. If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of the unit will re-open in two seconds even with your vehicle's ignition turned off.
Do not loose the "Mask Key". If power is disconnected from the unit, correct operation can only be restored by the "Mask Key's" signal. The "Mask Key" will also be required for service repair.
If you send products in for repair that include a mask key, make sure to present the unit together with the mask key.
NOTE
2CAUTION
Safety precautions
Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or cause the indicator letters to peel off.
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean it occasionally. 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 whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.

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 (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight – such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot places.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a whilst, and put them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that have been removed from their cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the centre 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 whilst playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, 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. 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.
• 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.

You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the unit, and shutting off the audio.
Power ON/OFF:
When you turn your vehicle’s ignition on, the unit’s power will also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control panel. When you turn your vehicle’s ignition off, the faceplate will reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit’s power will turn off.
• After installation of your Mask unit, be sure to transmit the "Mask Key's" signal to deactivate the demonstration mode. If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of the unit will re-open in two seconds even with your vehicle's ignition turned off.
• When the control panel of the faceplate is hidden, the unit will be locked by the sleeve, making it more difficult to remove the unit.
• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the action.
Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles
• Make sure the console is uncovered whilst the faceplate is reversed.
• Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit, including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit’s mechanism.
Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):
Hold down the SRC button for one second or more. The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn off.
• When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object and press the SRC button to turn the unit back on, then turn it off again to make it close properly.

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warning to be received.
Alarm
Stations that offer EON also transmit information about other RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.
EON (Enhanced Other Network)
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as network information being transmitted from radio stations. When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS capability), the programme service name of the station is displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which station is being received. RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data for the same station. When you are making long trips, this function automatically switches to the particular frequency with the best reception for the particular network of stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception. These include stations stored in the station preset memory that you often listen to.
