# WARNING

To prevent injuries or a fire, take the following precautions:

Stop the car before operating the unit.

To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit.

! CAUTION

Adjust the volume so that you can hear the sound outside the car. Driving with the volume too high may cause an accident.

Wipe off the dirt on the panel with a dry silicon or soft cloth.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the monitor or unit. If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

1-2. Important information

Before using the this unit for the first time

KDC-X997, KDC-BT955HD, KDC-X897, KDC-BT855U, KDC-X697, and KDC-655U are factory-set to operate in the Demonstration mode initially.

When using this unit for the first time, cancel the Demonstration mode. Refer to <Cancel the Demonstration mode>.

Cleaning the connector

The unit may not function properly if the connectors between the unit and faceplate are dirty. Detach the faceplate and clean the connector with a cotton swab gently, being careful not to damage the connector.

Condensation

When the car is air-conditioned, moisture may collect on the laser lens. This may cause disc read errors. In this case, remove the disc and wait for the moisture to evaporate.

How to reset your unit

If the unit fails to operate properly, press the Reset button. The unit returns to the factory settings when the Reset button is pressed.

Notes

When you purchase optional accessories, check with your Kenwood dealer to make sure that they can work with your model and in your area.

Characters that conform to ISO 8859-1 can be displayed.

The illustrations of the display and 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 images on the display may be inapplicable.

About the remote controls of KMR-555U

A maximum of 3 remote controls (KCA-RC107MR or KCA-RC55MR; optional accessory) can be used with the KMR-555U. For details on how to use the remote control, refer to the operation manual attached to it.

When using the remote control with this unit, you should register the remote control ID. For details, refer to <20-1. Registering a remote control ID>.

1-3. Regulatory Compliance

#CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

In compliance with Federal Regulations, following are reproductions of labels on, or inside the product relating to laser product safety.

Location : Top plate

FCC WARNING

This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.

FCC NOTE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications, if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IC (Industry Canada) Notice

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause interference, and

(2)this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

The term "IC: " before the certification/ registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specification were met.

#CAUTION

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

1.Determine the center of the currently set listening position as the reference point (in the illustration shown below).

2.Measure the distances from the reference point to the speakers.

3.Calculate the differences between the distance of the furthest speaker and other speakers.

4.Input the differences calculated in step 3 for individual speakers.

5.Adjust gain for individual speakers. A sound image will be shifted to the speaker with increased gain.
