LASER PRODUCT  
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.  
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.  
2CAUTION

Cleaning the CD Slot  
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 whilst,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean  
it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if  
you put them in a dusty CD slot.

Handling Compact discs  
Playing a CD 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 CDs from  
getting scratched or damaged.  
Cleaning CDs  
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot  
If a CD 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 CDs with conventional record  
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals  
such as paint thinner or benzene.  
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.  
Egnlish  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction. You may damage the  
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down  
as it ejects.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD  
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when  
holding it.  
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 whilst playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
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.

RDS (Radio Data System)  
Traffic Information Function  
You can listen to traffic information. If you are listening to  
tapes or discs, they will continue playing until a traffic bulletin  
is broadcast.  
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive  
signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as  
network information being transmitted from radio stations.  
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS  
capability), the programme service name of the station is  
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which  
station is being received.  
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data  
for the same station. When you are making long trips, this  
function automatically switches to the particular frequency  
with the best reception for the particular network of stations  
that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,  
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,  
broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.  
These include stations stored in the station preset memory that  
you often listen to.  
Egnlish  
Turning TI function On/Off:  
Press the TI button to turn the function on and off.  
When the function is on, the TI indicator is turned on.  
When none is being received, the TI indicator will blink on and  
off. When a traffic information station is being received, the TI  
indicator will turn on.  
When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, "TRAFFIC" will  
be displayed, and reception will begin at the preset volume.  
If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin  
begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin  
ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will  
begin playing again.  
NOTE  
Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically  
switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band  
is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.  
Enhanced Other Network  
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit  
information about other RDS stations that have traffic  
information. When you are tuned to a station that is not  
transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts  
transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches  
to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.  
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:  
Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI  
stations in a certain band.  
NOTE  
• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to  
another TI station.  
• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception  
starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic  
information stations with better reception.  
• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information  
station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>  
services, you can still have traffic information received.  
• Holding the TI button down for one second or more when the  
TI function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to  
the frequency display of the traffic information station for five  
seconds.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)  
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the  
warning to be received.
