proper working order.
• Do not open the top or bottom cover.
• Do not install the unit in places it is exposed to
direct sunlight, high heat or humidity, water may
splash over it, or dust exists.
• Do not install the unit at a dusty place. If the unit is
installed at a dusty place, dust accumulates inside

the Reset button. If the malfunction persists,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This unit is NOT designed to be connected directly
to control units that are manufactured and sold
before 1994. If used with such units, an optional

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND
CONTROL UNIT.
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.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
• 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 CDs with Sticker on the
Labeled Side
• Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be deformed
and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction
of the unit.
Cleaning the unit
• If the front panel is dirty, wipe it clean with a silicon
cloth or soft dry cloth with the power off.
Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or
other volatile solvents. These may damage external
surfaces or remove indicator characters.
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 CD player fogs
up. If this happens, you cannot play compact discs.
Take out discs and the fogging will disappear. If it
does not return to normal after several hours,
contact your Kenwood dealer.
Heat protection
• In warm climates, when vehicles are left standing in
direct sunlight with the windows closed, the
temperature inside can rise above 60°C. The unit's
protection circuits will then display the message
"HOLD" and prevent the player from operating. Just
open the windows or turn on the air conditioning.
As soon as the "HOLD" message disappears, the
player will operate normally.
