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.

NOTE

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. This function

helps prevent theft.

When using the unit for the first time:

In order to deactivate the demonstration

mode, be sure to press the transmit button

to transmit the Mask Key's signal.

If this procedure is not carried out, the

control panel of the unit will re-open in two

seconds even with your vehicle's ignition

turned off.

• If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

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.

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.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Storing CDs

COMPACT

• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct

sunlight – such as a car seat or above the

fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot

places.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not

listening to them for a whilst, and put them

back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that

have been removed from their cases or prop

them against something.

DIGITAL AUDIO

• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark

Burrs

only for this unit.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the

RDS (Radio Data System)

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function

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.

When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to

another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the

same RDS network with better reception.

The ™ indicator lights up when the AF function is turned

on.

another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the

tuner automatically switches to the other station for the

duration of the bulletin.

Hold down the DISP button for one second or more.

The frequency for the RDS station will be displayed for five

seconds instead of the station name.

NOTE

When no other stations with stronger reception are available for

the same programme in the RDS network, you may hear the

incoming broadcast in bits and snatches. Turn off the AF function

in such a case.
