Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
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.
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.
2CAUTION
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.
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
The label is attached to the chassis/case and
says that the component uses laser beams
that have been classified as Class 1. It
means that the unit is utilizing laser beams
that are of a weaker class. There is no
danger of hazardous radiation outside the
unit.
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
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.
•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 CDRW package: read this information carefully
before using the disc.
•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.
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 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.
Tape

— 7 —
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.
•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/CDRW 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
Labelled 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 after a period of time which
you have set in the "Time setting for removing the faceplate" in
the menu. The unit's power will turn off.
Alternatively, you can remove the faceplate during that period.
For details, refer to the "Removing the faceplate" (page 14).
• 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 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.
