Safety precautions

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 used the tape player many

times over a long period, 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 installa-

tion, 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 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 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.

MW/LW

Cleaning the Faceplate Term inals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

LOUD

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one

whose label is starting to come off, as it can

cause the unit to malfunction.

Reset button

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as

above the fascia panel (dashboard) 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.

• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when

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

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

tape head and cause unit malfunction.
