Warning / Safety precautions

English

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 using laser beams that are of a

weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous

radiation outside the unit.

Take the following precautions to prevent fire

and avoid personal injury :

· Check that no metal objects (coins, tools, etc.)

are left inside the unit to avoid short circuits.

· If you smell or see smoke, turn the power off

immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.

Take the following precautions to keep the unit

in proper working order.

· Do not open the top or bottom cover.

· Do not install the unit in places it is exposed to

direct sunlight, high heat or humidity, water may

splash over it, or dust exists.

· Do not install the unit at a dusty place. If the unit

is installed at a dusty place, dust accumulates

inside the unit and unit may be damaged.

· When drilling a hole in the car to fix the

brackets, make sure not to damage the fuel

tank, brake tube, wiring harnesses, etc. on the

other side.

· If the unit is installed near speakers, the

speakers vibration may causes a sound skip.

Install the unit as far away as possible from the

speakers.

· If you have difficulty in installing this unit in your

vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.

· If it doesn't seem to be working properly, first

press the Reset button. If the malfunction

persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

· This unit is NOT designed to be connected

directly to control units that are manufactured

and sold before 1994. If used with such units, an

optional CA-SD200 (sold separately) must be

used.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND

CONTROL UNIT.

· The disc name preset function can register

names of up to 100 discs using up to 12

characters for each disc name.

The availability of this function as well as the

number of discs which can be registered using

this function and the number of usable

characters may be variable depending on the

control unit in use.

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/CD-RW 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

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.

Cleaning the unit

· If the front panel is dirty, wipe it clean with a

silicon cloth or soft dry cloth with the power off.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol,

or other volatile solvents. These may damage

external surfaces or remove indicator characters.

Lens fogging

· In cold climates, there may be a period after you

turn on your vehicle's heater when the lens that

guides the laser beam used in your CD player

fogs up. If this happens, you cannot play

compact discs. Take out discs and the fogging

will disappear. If it does not return to normal

after several hours, contact your Kenwood

dealer.

Heat protection

· In warm climates, when vehicles are left

standing in direct sunlight with the windows

closed, the temperature inside can rise above

60°C. The unit's protection circuits will then

display the message "HOLD" and prevent the

player from operating. Just open the windows

or turn on the air conditioning. As soon as the

"HOLD" message disappears, the player will

operate normally.

2WARNING

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

VIDEO CD

Stains, scratches, or warping can cause skipping, malfunction, or low sound quality.

Take the following precautions to avoid damage to the compact discs.

·Avoid touching the recorded side (the side without the titles on) when you hold a compact disc.

· 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 CD-

RW package: read this information carefully before using the disc.

· Do not stick paper tape, etc. on either stick of the disc.

· Do not store discs where they will be exposed to direct sunlight (such as on the seat and dashboard) or high

heat.

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.

· If you do not use your unit for an extended time, remove the discs from the unit and put them in their cases.

Do not leave them lying around without cases, piled up, or leaning on a wall and so on.

· If you attach an adapter to an 8 cm (3") compact disc and load it into this unit, the adapter may be detached

from the disc, causing damage to the unit. Do not use 8 cm (3") compact discs.
