Safety precautions
•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.
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.
2CAUTION

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.
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.
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.
