2.Do not plug in the CD changer’s power cord until you have finished making connections to your receiver or amplifier.
3.If you exposed your changer to a great difference in temperature (for example, if you purchased it in winter from a store with an unheated warehouse) or if the humidity in the room changes, condensation may form inside the unit. If this occurs, connect the unit, turn it on, and leave it on but unused for a few hours. This will evaporate the condensation and return your changer to working order. Restart the changer before using it again.

Depending on the operation environment (humidity, dust, smoke, etc.), this pickup should operate approximately 1,000 hours before requiring inspection. To schedule inspection, consult the store where you purchased the changer or visit the Kenwood USA Web site’s Support area.
7.Be sure to locate your changer on a level and stationary surface, or it will not be able to play discs properly.

÷Power status (on or off)
÷Disc and track names
÷Music Type assignments
÷User File assignments
