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.

switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band
is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:
Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI
stations in a certain band.
• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to
another TI station.
• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception
starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic
information stations with better reception.
• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information
station itself but which provides EON services, you can still have
traffic information received.
• Holding the TI button down for one second or more when the TI
function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to the
