Safety precautions

— 4 —

English

• 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.11) 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. 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 disc auto

changer is first controlled and operates
incorrectly. The original operating condition
will return.

• We recommend the use of the Security

Code function (see p.34) to prevent theft.

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult

to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

• 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 hard 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

Cleaning the Tape Head

After you have listened to many cassettes
over a long period of time, magnetic powder
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use
in car audio systems.

Handling Cassette Tapes

• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone

slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a
pencil or the like in one of the spools.
Playing slack cassette tapes can result in the
tape tangling around the capstan and/or
pinch rollers, causing trouble.

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one

whose label is starting to come off, as it can
cause the unit to malfunction.

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on

dashboards and other spots exposed to
direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They
can deform the cassette.

• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,

such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes
are very thin, and can tangle easily around
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the
unit, causing unit failure.

• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when

not listening to it for a while. If you leave a
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction.
