Warning / Safety precautions
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
The label is attached to the chassis/case and says that the component uses laser beams that have been classified as Class 1. It means that the unit is using laser beams that are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit.
2WARNING
Take the following precautions to prevent fire and avoid personal injury :
• Check that no metal objects (coins, tools, etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short circuits.
• If you smell or see smoke, turn the power off immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.
2CAUTION
Take the following precautions to keep the unit in 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 unit and unit may be damaged.
• When drilling a hole in the car to fix the brackets, make sure not to damage the fuel tank, brake tube, wiring harnesses, etc. on the other side.
• If the unit is installed near speakers, the speakers vibration may causes a sound skip.
Install the unit as far away as possible from the speakers.
NOTE
• If you have difficulty in installing this unit in your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.
• If it doesn't seem to be working properly, first press the Reset button. If the malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.
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 CA-SD200 (sold separately) must be used.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND
CONTROL UNIT.
• The disc name preset function can register names of up to 100 discs using up to 12 characters for each disc name.
The availability of this function as well as the number of discs which can be registered using
2 this function and the number of usable characters may be variable depending on the control unit in use.
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
VIDEO CD 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.
2CAUTION
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.
Stains, scratches, or warping can cause skipping, malfunction, or low sound quality.
Take the following precautions to avoid damage to the compact discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded side (the side without the titles on) when you hold a compact disc.
• 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 paper tape, etc. on either stick of the disc.
• Do not store discs where they will be exposed to direct sunlight (such as on the seat and dashboard) or high heat.
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.
• If you do not use your unit for an extended time, remove the discs from the unit and put them in their cases.
Do not leave them lying around without cases, piled up, or leaning on a wall and so on.
• If you attach an adapter to an 8 cm (3") compact disc and load it into this unit, the adapter may be detached from the disc, causing damage to the unit. Do not use 8 cm (3") compact discs.
