To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.
• 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 short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., 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.

sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also
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
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
•To prevent short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
• Do not place any object between the

The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64
• Maximum number of folders: 50
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be

Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or nonMP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing
MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file
or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder
Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were
written by the CD writer.
Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played
may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be
able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them
onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with
play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD
writer.
For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is
subject to Folder Search, File Search, or Folder Select as shown below.
When a File Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When a Folder Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When Folder Select is selected with file ¡$ being played to move
