Before Use

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

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.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA

• This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2 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.

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 nonMP3/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.
