Cleaning the panel and monitor
When the operator panel and monitor panels are dirty, wipe and clean them using a soft cloth (such as a commercially available silicon coated cloth). When contaminated excessively, clean them using a cloth dipped in a neutral detergent first, then remove the detergent using a dry cloth. Do not use a hard cloth and a volatile chemical (such as
an alcohol). If used, the panel surface may be scratched or printed letters may be erased.
Cleaning the disc slot
As dust can accumulate in the disc slot, clean it occasionally. Your discs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty disc slot.
Screen brightness during low temperatures
When the temperature of the unit falls such as during winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a whilst.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or condensation may form on the lens in the disc player of the unit. Called lens fogging, discs may be impossible to play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate normally after a whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.
