Safety precautions

English

NOTE

•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.

Reset button

•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.

Handling Mini discs

•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.

•Do not use an MD that has a peeling label. Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling label may cause problems, such as the label coming off inside the player and the resultant inability to eject the MD.

•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.

•MDs designed for use with data cannot be used. Please use MDs designed for music.

•Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead to breakdown.

Lens Fogging

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.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.

2CAUTION

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.
