Safety precautions  
Handling Mini discs  
Lens Fogging  
NOTE  
• The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot  
be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will  
be damaged and use of the MD will no  
longer be possible. If the shutter has been  
opened due to some cause, be careful not to  
touch the recording portion with a finger.  
Doing so will cause the sound to skip.  
In cold climates, there may be a period after  
you turn on your vehicle's heater when the  
lens that guides the laser beam used in your  
MD player fogs up. If this happens, you  
cannot play mini discs. Take out discs and  
the fogging will disappear. If it does not  
return to normal after several hours, contact  
your Kenwood dealer.  
• 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  
• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge  
surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an  
oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in  
the disc not loading or being unable to eject  
it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to  
open the shutter.)  
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a  
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be  
placed in an MD case for storage.  
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to  
direct sunlight (such as on a instrument  
panel) or in other places that reach high  
temperatures. The MD cartridge will become  
misshapen and will no longer be usable.  
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

RDS features  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
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.  
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.
