Safety precautions

English

NOTE

•If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

•If the unit fails to operate properly, press the RESET button. When the faceplate controls are not visible, press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate (as illustrated on p.15) for as many times as you have preset to make the faceplate controls appear. The unit returns to factory settings when the RESET button is pressed. After you press the reset button, the Mask Key will be needed to restart the unit. If the unit still fails to operate properly after the RESET button has been pressed, contact your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.

•Press the reset button if the CD auto changer is first controlled and operates incorrectly. The original operating condition will return.

•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.

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.

Mask key

If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal once to the unit in advance, you will have to transmit it once again if the unit has been removed from the battery. This function helps prevent theft.

When using the unit for the first time: In order to deactivate the demonstration mode, be sure to press the transmit button to transmit the Mask Key's signal.

If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of the unit will re-open in two seconds even with your vehicle's ignition turned off.

2CAUTION

Do not loose the "Mask Key".

If power is disconnected from the unit, correct operation can only be restored by the "Mask Key's" signal.

The "Mask Key" will also be required for service repair.

NOTE

If you send products in for repair that include a mask key, make sure to present the unit together with the mask key.

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.
