2WARNING

To prevent injury and/or fire, take the following precautions:

???Ensure that the unit is securely installed. Otherwise it may fly out of place during collisions and other jolts.

???When extending the ignition, battery or ground wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires with an area of 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent cable deterioration and damage to the cable coating.

???To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal tools) inside the unit.

???If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.

???Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your health or even fatal.

If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap immediately.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

???Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

???Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.

???Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

???Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

???When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause your unit to malfunction.

???To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

???Do not use any screws except for the ones provided. The use of improper screws might result in damage to the main unit.

???You cannot view video pictures whilst the vehicle is moving. To enjoy TV/video pictures, find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.

NOTE

???If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

???If the unit does not seem to be working right, try pressing the reset button first. If that does not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Loading and Replacing the battery

2WARNING

Store unused batteries out of the reach of children. Contact a doctor immediately if the battery is accidentally swallowed.

Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the dashboard.

??? The provided batteries are intended for use in operation checking, and their service life may be short.

???When the remote controllable distance becomes short, replace both of the batteries with new ones.

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.

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.

Restrictions due to difference between discs

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.

???CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and DVD+R/RW are easier to damage than a normal music CD. Use a CD-R/RW, DVD- R/RW, or DVD+R/RW after reading the caution items on the package etc.

???Don???t stick tape etc. on the disc.

Also, don???t use a disc with tape stuck on it.

When using a new disc

If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs, use it after removing them with a ball pen etc.

Burrs

Burrs

Disc accessories

Don???t use disc type accessories.

Disc cleaning

Clean from the center of the disc and move outward.

Removing discs

When removing discs from this unit pull them out horizontally.

Discs that can???t be used

??? Discs that aren???t round can???t be used.

???Discs with coloring on the recording surface or that are dirty can???t be used.

It may not correctly play discs which do not have the mark.

???A CD-R or CD-RW that hasn???t been finalized can???t be played. (For the finalization process refer to your CD- R/CD-RW writing software, and your CD-R/CD-RW recorder instruction manual.)

Disc storage

???Don???t place them in direct sunlight (On the seat or dashboard etc.) and where the temperature is high.

???Store discs in their cases.

This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note, however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable media

The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.

When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction.

Acceptable medium formats

The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.

???ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)

???ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

???Joliet (64 characters)

???Romeo (128 characters)

Up to 170 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below.

The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

???Maximum number of directory levels: 8

???Maximum number of files per folder: 255

???Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64

???Maximum number of folders: 100

MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names or folder names are not properly displayed.

Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA encoder.

??? Transfer bit rate: MP3: 8 ???320 kbps WMA: 48 ???192 kbps

??? Sampling frequency: MP3: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.

Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.

Entering ID3 tag

The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x.

For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.

Entering file and folder names

The code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed.

If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.

The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA which have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).

A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Writing files into a medium

When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3/WMA. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3/WMA file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

???Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non- MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension.

The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data as long as they have the MP3/WMA extension.

???Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.

MP3/WMA playing order

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer.

Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.
