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.

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.

Playing a disc that is dirty, scratched or warped

can cause the sound to skip and the unit to

operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound

quality. Take the following precautions to prevent

your discs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling discs

•The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more fragile

than that on an ordinary music CD, and may peel off if

scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also

more likely to cause skipping when the disc is played.

For these reasons, handle the disc very carefully.

•Detailed handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or

CD-RW package: read this information carefully before

using the disc.

•Do not stick tape on either side of the disc.

Storing discs

•Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight

(such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot places.

A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a music CD

to damage from high temperatures and humidity, and in

some cases, may become unusable if left in the car for

long periods of time.

•Remove discs from the unit when not listening to them

for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile

up discs that are removed from their cases or prop them

against something.

Cleaning discs

If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a

commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth,

starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward. Do

not clean discs with conventional record cleaners, anti-

static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or

benzene.

Checking New discs for Burrs

When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there

are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the

central hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may not load

properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a

ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can

be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective

sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit

to malfunction.

Removing the disc

Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal

direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try

pulling it down as it ejects.

Do Not Use Special Shape CDs

•Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do

not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape

CDs may cause the unit to malfunction.

•CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone

finalization processing cannot be played. (For more

information on finalization processing, refer to the

manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or CD-

R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the

recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain

CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.

Do Not Use discs with Sticker on the Labelled

Side

Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it.

Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and

the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
