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.  
— 5 —  
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

2CAUTION  
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect  
the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and  
off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a  
power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery  
wires, the battery may die.  
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the  
faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires arent touching to  
cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with  
the same rating.  
• Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the  
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent a short  
circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the  
unconnected wires or the terminals.  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material.
