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

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 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.

• 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.

..........................................2

..........................................1

• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if

the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant

voltage such as a battery cable, the power will not be linked

with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the

ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition,

connect the ignition cable to a power source that can be turned

on and off with the ignition key.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not

caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with

the same rating.

• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the

car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short

circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the

unconnected cables or the terminals.

• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which

they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if

you share the - cables and/or ground them to any metal part in

the car.

2CAUTION

The use of any accessories except for those provided might result

in damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories

shipped with the unit, as shown above.

• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,

indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar

material.

• Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection.

See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.

• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the

faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.

In s t a lla t io n P ro c e d u re

1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and

disconnect the -terminal of the battery.

2. Make the proper input and output cable connections for each unit.

3. Connect the cable on the wiring harness.

NOTE

Connecting the ISO Connector (see p.39)

The pin arrangement for the ISO connectors depends on the type

of vehicle you drive. Make sure to make the proper connections to

prevent damage to the unit.

The default connection for the wiring harness is described in 1

below. If the ISO connector pins are set as described in 2 or 3,

make the connection as illustrated.

When the connection is made as in 3 above, the unit's power will

not be linked to the ignition key. For that reason, always make sure

to turn off the unit's power when the ignition is turned off.

To link the unit's power to the ignition, connect the ignition cable

(ACC...red) to a power source that can be turned on and off with

the ignition key.
