The illustrations of the display and the 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 illustrations on the display may represent something impossible in actual

operation.

Before Use

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 utilizing laser beams that

are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous

radiation outside the unit.

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 cables,

make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other

cables with an area of 0.75mm2 (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.

· 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.

Mask key

If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal once to the

unit in advance, you will have to transmit it once again if the

unit has been removed from the battery.

Do not loose the "Mask Key".

If power is disconnected from the unit, correct operation

can only be restored by the "Mask Key's" signal.

The "Mask Key" will also be required for service repair.

If you send products in for repair that include a mask key,

make sure to present the unit together with the mask key.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe

the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.

Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a cloth

dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and

alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or

remove the indicator letters.

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 Batteries for the

Remote

Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the

dashboard.

1. Use two "AAA" batteries.

Slide the cover while pressing downwards to remove

it as illustrated.

2. Insert the batteries with the

ª 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.

· 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 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.

Playing a disc that is dirty, scratched or warped

can cause the sound to skip and the unit to

operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound

quality. Take the following precautions to prevent

your discs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling discs

· Do not touch the recorded side of the disc (i.e., the side

opposite the label) when holding it.

· 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 tape on either side of the disc.

Storing discs

· Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight

(such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot

places. 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.

· Remove discs from the unit when not listening to them

for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not

pile up discs that are removed from their cases or prop

them against something.

Cleaning discs

If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a

commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth,

starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward.

Do not clean discs with conventional record cleaners, anti-

static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or

benzene.

Checking New discs for Burrs

When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there

are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the

central hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may not load

properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a

ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can

be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective

sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit

to malfunction.

Removing the disc

Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal

direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try

pulling it down as it ejects.

Do Not Use Special Shape Discs

· Be sure to use round shape Discs only for this unit and

do not use any special shape Discs. Use of special

shape Discs may cause the unit to malfunction.

· 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

Discs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.

Do Not Use discs with Sticker on the Labelled

Side

Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it.

Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and

the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
