• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully

locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of

place when jolted.

• When extending the ignition, battery, or

ground wires, make sure to use automotive-

grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm²

(AWG18) or more to prevent wire

deterioration and damage to the wire

coating.

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave

any metallic objects (such as coins or metal

tools) inside the unit.

To prevent dam age to the m achine,

take the follow ing 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

Cleaning the Unit

Cleaning the Tape Head

NOTE

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the

power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon

cloth or soft cloth.

After you have listened to many cassettes

over a long period of time, magnetic powder

from the tapes and dust accumulates on the

tape head, causing noise and a deterioration

in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a

cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use

in car audio systems.

• 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.

2CAUTION

Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a

cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as

paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch

the surface of the panel and/or cause the

indicator letters to peel off.

Handling Cassette Tapes

• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone

slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a

pencil or the like in one of the spools.

Playing slack cassette tapes can result in the

tape tangling around the capstan and/or

pinch rollers, causing trouble.

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one

whose label is starting to come off, as it can

cause the unit to malfunction.

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on

dashboards and other spots exposed to

direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They

can deform the cassette.

• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,

such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes

are very thin, and can tangle easily around

the pinch rollers or other parts inside the

unit, causing unit failure.

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,

clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can

get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD

slot.

Reset button

• 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.

Lens Fogging

• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when

not listening to it for a while. If you leave a

tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the

tape head and cause unit malfunction.

• The functions that can be used and the

information that can be displayed will differ

depending on the external disc players being

connected.

Right after you turn on the car heater in cold

weather, dew or condensation may form on

the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called

lens fogging, CDs 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 while,

consult your Kenwood dealer.

Handling Com pact discs

listening to them for a while, and put them

back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that

are removed from their cases or prop them

against something.

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched

or w arped can cause the sound to

skip and the unit to operate

incorrectly, resulting in w orsened

sound quality. Take the follow ing

precautions to prevent your CDs from

getting scratched or dam aged.

Rem oving the CD

Only remove the CD from the machine in a

horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may

damage the surface of the CD if you try

pulling it down as it ejects.

English

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently

using a commercially available cleaning cloth

or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the

center of the disc and moving outward. Do

not clean CDs with conventional record

cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals

such as paint thinner or benzene.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the

recorded side of the CD

(the side opposite the

label) when holding it.

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.

• 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.

Checking New CDs for Burrs

When playing a new CD for the first time,

check that there are not any burrs stuck to

the perimeter of the disc or in the central

hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not

load properly or may skip while playing.

Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a

similar utensil.

• Do not use any CD which does not bear one

of the following marks:

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 or CD-RW writing software.) Additionally,

depending on the recording status, it may

prove impossible to play certain CDs

recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.

Tape

• Do not stick tape on

either side of the CD.

Burrs

Storing CDs

• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct

sunlight (such as a car seat or the

Burrs

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.

Do Not Use CDs w ith 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.

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do not use commercially available CD

accessories that can be loaded into the CD

slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets,

or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause

the unit to malfunction.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not
