Safety precautions  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
Cleaning the Tape Head  
NOTE  
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.

• 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 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 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  
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.  
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult  
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).  
• 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.  
• The functions that can be used and the  
information that can be displayed will differ  
depending on the external disc players being  
connected.

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.

• 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.  
..........................................1  
• 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.  
Installation Procedure  
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.  
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it to the  
speaker connector in your vehicle.  
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it to the  
external power connector on your vehicle.  
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.
