Cleaning the disc slot  
As dust can accumulate in the disc slot, clean it  
occasionally. Your discs can get scratched if you put them in  
a dusty disc slot.  
Checking New discs for Burrs  
When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there  
are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the  
central hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may not load  
properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a  
ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.  
Lens Fogging  
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew  
or condensation may form on the lens in the disc player of  
the unit. Called lens fogging, discs 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.  
Burrs  
Burrs  
Playing a disc 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 discs from getting scratched or damaged.  
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot  
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.  
Handling discs  
• 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.  
Removing the disc  
Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal  
direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try  
pulling it down as it ejects.  
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 disc.  
Tape  
• 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/CD-RW writing software or CD-  
R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the  
recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain  
CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.  
Storing discs  
• Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight  
(such as a car seat or the 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 discs with Sticker on the Labelled  
Side  
Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it.  
Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and  
the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.  
• Remove discs from the unit when not listening to them  
for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile  
up discs that are removed from their cases or prop them  
against something.  
Cleaning discs  
If a disc 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 discs with conventional record cleaners, anti-  
static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or  
benzene.

Glossary  
DVD: Digital Versatile Disc  
Track number (CD, VCD)  
A type of disc which contains recording of audio/video  
packaged media with high video and audio quality, such as  
a movie, featuring large recording capacity and digital  
signal processing capability.  
A track is also a section of video and audio recorded in a  
disc. The numbers assigned to individual tracks are  
referred to as the track numbers.  
With most of music CDs, a track is assigned to a piece of  
music. However, with a VCD, the sections of the contents  
do not always correspond to the assigned tracks.  
As (special) playback functions such as skipping and  
programming of ordinary CDs are based on track number  
data, such playback functions are sometimes impossible  
with some VCDs.  
VIDEO CD (VCD)  
A type of CD which contains the recording of moving  
images. It compresses image information by about 1/120  
and audio information by about 1/6 and accommodates up  
to 74 minutes of recording in a disc with the same  
diameter as ordinary music CD of 12 cm.  
Some VCDs do not have the P.B.C. compatibility and are  
capable of playback only, while some are P.B.C.-  
compatible and are capable of various special playback  
control operations. This player can play both of these  
VCDs.  
P.B.C.: Play-Back Control (VCD)  
When a VIDEO CD carries “Play Back Control capable” or  
similar message on the disc or jacket, desired scenes and  
information can be played back in an interactive manner  
using a hierarchical structure while viewing the menu  
screens displayed on the TV screen.  
MPEG: Moving Picture Expert Group (DVD, VCD)  
This is an international standard for digital video and audio  
compression and decompression in media.  
Dolby Digital  
This is a digital audio compression technology developed  
by Dolby Laboratories. It is compatible with 5.1-channel  
surround audio as well as normal stereo (2-channel) audio  
and can accommodate a large amount of audio data  
efficiently in a disc.  
DTS  
Name of a digital surround system developed by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc.  
Top menu/menu (DVD)  
Some DVDs display more than one title in a screen. This  
screen is referred to as the top menu.  
The menu is the item display (menu screen) for use in  
setting operations. The menu can be recalled any time  
during playback to perform settings according to the  
current software, including the audio switching between  
Dolby Digital and PCM, switching of language used in the  
subtitles and spoken voice.  
Title number (DVD)  
The title is the largest unit of video and audio recorded in a  
DVD. It usually corresponds to a single movie of video  
software or an album (sometimes a piece of music) of  
music software. The numbers assigned to individual titles  
are referred to as the title numbers.

Installation  
Installing the Antenna Units  
• Attach the antenna to the inner glass surface of the rear window using double-sided tape. Carefully check the installation  
location as the tape can only be stuck on once.  
• If the surface temperature of the glass of the rear window is low, warm it by turning on the power of the rear defogger.  
A cold window glass surface will weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape.  
Also, if installation inside the cabin is performed on a day with high humidity or when it is raining, the high humidity level will  
weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape.  
• Do not install the antenna in a location where it may obstruct the field of view during driving, such as on the windshield.  
1
Check the location where the antenna is to be attached.Clean  
off any grease or dirt from the installation location using the  
supplied glass cleaner (Accessory Q), clean the area with water  
and allow to dry.  
Antenna parts  
2 CAUTION  
Clean the glass thoroughly as failure to clean the glass can not  
only weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape,  
but may also cause it to come loose.
