Warning / Safety precautions

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, con-

sult 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 num-

ber of discs which can be registered using this func-

tion 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 spe-

cial 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 final-

ization processing cannot be played. (For more infor-

mation on finalization processing, refer to the manu-

al 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 hap-

pens, 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 deal-

er.

Heat protection

· In warm climates, when vehicles are left standing in

direct sunlight with the windows closed, the tem-

perature inside can rise above 60°C. The unit's pro-

tection 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.

2CAUTION

NOTE

2CAUTION

2WARNING

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

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.

Control unit (optional)

· Do not connect the changer control cable while the control unit is turned ON.

· Be sure to press the reset button after installation.

· Do not install an antenna of radio equipment or distribute the antenna cable near the

changer output cable, for this could cause malfunction with this unit.

Setting the O-N switch

Set the O-N switch (lying to the right of the EJECT key) depending on the unit connected, as

follows:

Consult the instruction manual for your control unit to check whether or not it is CD text

capable. That information can be found on the page for External Disc Control in the section

concerning switching to "N."
