To prevent injury and/or fire, take the following
precautions:
· Ensure that the unit is securely installed. Otherwise it
may fly out of place during collisions and other jolts.
· When extending the ignition, battery or ground wires,
make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires
with an area of 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent
cable deterioration and damage to the cable 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.
· 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.
To prevent damage to the machine, take the
following precautions:
· Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC
power supply.
· Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.
· Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight
or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too
much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
· 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 use any screws except for the ones provided.
The use of improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
· You cannot view video pictures whilst the vehicle is
moving. To enjoy TV/video pictures, find a safe place to
park and engage the parking brake.
· If you experience problems during installation, consult
your Kenwood dealer.
· If the unit does not seem to be working right, try
pressing the reset button first. If that does not solve the
problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.
Screen brightness during low temperatures
When the temperature of the unit falls such as during
winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become darker
than usual. Normal brightness will return after using the
monitor for a whilst.

Loading and Replacing the battery
1. Use two "AAA"-size batteries.
Slide the cover while pressing downwards to remove it
as illustrated.
2. Insert the batteries with the + and - poles aligned
properly, following the illustration inside the case.
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children. Contact
a doctor immediately if the battery is accidentally
swallowed.
Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the
dashboard.
· The provided batteries are intended for use in operation
checking, and their service life may be short.
· When the remote controllable distance becomes short,
replace both of the batteries with new ones.
Cleaning the panel and monitor
When the operator panel and monitor panels are dirty, wipe
and clean them using a soft cloth (such as a commercially
available silicon coated cloth). When contaminated
excessively, clean them using a cloth dipped in a neutral
detergent first, then remove the detergent using a dry
cloth.
Do not use a hard cloth and a volatile chemical (such as an
alcohol). If used, the panel surface may be scratched or
printed letters may be erased.
Cleaning the disc slot
As dust can accumulate in the disc slot, clean it
occasionally. Your discs can get scratched if you put them
in a dusty disc slot.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew
or condensation may form on the lens in the disc player of
the unit. Called lens fogging, discs 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.

About discs
Notes on playing MP3/WMA
Handling discs
· Don't touch the recording surface of the disc.
· CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and DVD+R/RW are easier to
damage than a normal music CD. Use a CD-R/RW, DVD-
R/RW, or DVD+R/RW after reading the caution items on
the package etc.
· Don't stick tape etc. on the disc.
Also, don't use a disc with tape stuck on it.

If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs, use it after
removing them with a ball pen etc.
Disc accessories
Don't use disc type accessories.
Disc cleaning
Clean from the center of the disc and move outward.
Removing discs
When removing discs from this unit pull them out
horizontally.
Discs that can't be used
· Discs that aren't round can't be used.
· Discs with coloring on the recording surface or that are
dirty can't be used.
· This unit can only play the CDs with
.
It may not correctly play discs which do not have the

·A CD-R or CD-RW that hasn't been finalized can't be
played. (For the finalization process refer to your CD-
R/CD-RW writing software, and your CD-R/CD-RW
recorder instruction manual.)
Disc storage
· Don't place them in direct sunlight (On the seat or
dashboard etc.) and where the temperature is high.
· Store discs in their cases.
This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2 Audio Layer 3)/WMA.
Note, however, that the MP3/WMA recording media
and formats acceptable are limited. When writing
MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.
Acceptable media
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are
CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to
prevent malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in
this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file
name including the delimiter (".") and three-character
extension are indicated in parentheses.
· ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)
· ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
· Joliet (64 characters)
· Romeo (128 characters)
Up to 170 characters can be displayed in the long file name
format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction
manual of the writing software and the section Entering file
and folder names below.
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: 100
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above
may not be successfully played and their file names or
folder names are not properly displayed.
Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD
writer
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in
MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA encoder.
· Transfer bit rate: MP3: 8 --320 kbps
WMA: 48 --192 kbps
· Sampling frequency: MP3: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to
the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For
recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at
once, check Disc at Once.
Play mode may not be possible when portions of the
functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.
Entering ID3 tag
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x.
For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.
Entering file and folder names
The code list characters are the only file names and folder
names that can be entered and displayed.
If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder
names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be
displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA which
have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code
list may not play correctly.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the
unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium
contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/WMA files, therefore,
it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3/WMA.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the
next MP3/WMA 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.
· Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-
MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data
as long as they have the MP3/WMA extension.
· Do not attempt to play a medium containing non
MP3/WMA.
MP3/WMA playing order
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/WMA 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.
