Before Use
The marking of products using lasers (Except for
some areas)
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal once to the
unit in advance, you will have to transmit it once again if the
unit has been removed from the battery.
2 CAUTION
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 utilizing laser beams that
are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous
radiation outside the unit.
Do not loose the "Mask Key".
If power is disconnected from the unit, correct operation
can only be restored by the "Mask Key's" signal.
The "Mask Key" will also be required for service repair.
NOTE
If you send products in for repair that include a mask key,
make sure to present the unit together with the mask key.
Cleaning the Unit
2 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 cables,
make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other
cables with an area of 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to
prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire
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.
2 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. 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.

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe
the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.
2 CAUTION
Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a cloth
dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and
alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or
remove the indicator letters.
Screen brightness during low temperatures
When the temperature of the unit falls such as during
winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become
darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after
using the monitor for a whilst.
Loading and Replacing the Batteries for the
Remote
2 CAUTION
Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the
dashboard.
1. Use two "AAA" batteries.
Slide the cover while pressing downwards to remove
it as illustrated.
2. Insert the batteries with the ª and · poles aligned
properly following the illustration inside the case.
2 WARNING
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children.
Contact a doctor immediately if the battery is
accidentally swallowed.
NOTE
• 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 disc slot
Checking New discs for Burrs
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.
Playing a disc that is dirty, scratched or warped
can cause the sound to skip and the unit to
operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound
quality. Take the following precautions to prevent
your discs from getting scratched or damaged.
Handling discs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the disc (i.e., the side
opposite the label) when holding it.
When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there
are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the
central hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may not load
properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a
ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
Burrs
Burrs
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can
be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective
sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit
to malfunction.
Removing the disc
Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal
direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try
pulling it down as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape Discs
• 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 tape on either side of the disc.
Tape
Storing discs
• Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight
(such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot
places. 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.
• Remove discs from the unit when not listening to them
for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not
pile up discs that are removed from their cases or prop
them against something.
• Be sure to use round shape Discs only for this unit and
do not use any special shape Discs. Use of special
shape Discs may cause the unit to malfunction.
• 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 CDR/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the
recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain
Discs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Do Not Use discs with Sticker on the Labelled
Side
Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it.
Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and
the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
Cleaning discs
If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a
commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth,
starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward.
Do not clean discs with conventional record cleaners, antistatic formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or
benzene.

Glossary
DVD: Digital Versatile Disc
A type of disc which contains recording of audio/video
packaged media with high video and audio quality, such
as a movie, featuring large recording capacity and digital
signal processing capability.
VIDEO CD (VCD)
P.B.C.: Play-Back Control (VCD)
When a VIDEO CD carries “Play Back Control capable” or
similar message on the disc or jacket, desired scenes and
information can be played back in an interactive manner
using a hierarchical structure while viewing the menu
screens displayed on the TV screen.
A type of CD which contains the recording of moving
images. It compresses image information by about 1/120
and audio information by about 1/6 and accommodates up
to 74 minutes of recording in a disc with the same
diameter as ordinary music CD of 12 cm.
Some VCDs do not have the P.B.C. compatibility and are
capable of playback only, while some are P.B.C.compatible and are capable of various special playback
control operations. This player can play both of these
VCDs.
MPEG: Moving Picture Expert Group (DVD, VCD)
This is an international standard for digital video and audio
compression and decompression in media.
Dolby Digital
This is a digital audio compression technology developed
by Dolby Laboratories. It is compatible with 5.1-channel
surround audio as well as normal stereo (2-channel) audio
and can accommodate a large amount of audio data
efficiently in a disc.
DTS
Name of a digital surround system developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc.
Top menu/menu (DVD)
Some DVDs display more than one title in a screen. This
screen is referred to as the title menu.
The DVD menu is the item display (menu screen) for use
in setting operations. The DVD menu can be recalled any
time during playback to perform settings according to the
current software, including the audio switching between
Dolby Digital and PCM, switching of language used in the
subtitles and spoken voice.
Title number (DVD)
The title is the largest unit of video and audio recorded in
a DVD. It usually corresponds to a single movie of video
software or an album (sometimes a piece of music) of
music software. The numbers assigned to individual titles
are referred to as the title numbers.
Chapter number (DVD)
The chapter is a section of video and audio recorded in a
DVD. A title is composed of several chapters. The
numbers assigned to individual chapters are referred to as
the chapter numbers.
Subtitles (DVD)
Some DVD discs contains the recording of more than one
subtitle language. This player allow you to select one of
the recorded subtitle languages during playback. If the
subtitle language is set to “Automatic” in the initial setup,
subtitles are displayed only when the spoken voice is in
other language than the initial set language.
Track number (CD, VCD)
A track is also a section of video and audio recorded in a
disc. The numbers assigned to individual tracks are
referred to as the track numbers.
With most of music Discs, a track is assigned to a piece
of music. However, with a VCD, the sections of the
contents do not always correspond to the assigned
tracks.
As (special) playback functions such as skipping and
programming of ordinary Discs are based on track number
data, such playback functions are sometimes impossible
with some VCDs.

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a digital information system that lets
you receive signals besides those of regular
radio programmes, such as network
information being transmitted from radio
stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station
with RDS capability), the programme service
name of the station is displayed along with the
frequency, advising you quickly which station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit frequency data for the same station.
When you are making long trips, this function
automatically switches to the particular
frequency with the best reception for the
particular network of stations that you want to
listen to. The data is automatically stored,
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS
stations, broadcasting the same programme,
that has better reception. These include
stations stored in the station preset memory
that you often listen to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network>
also transmit information about other RDS
stations that have traffic information. When
you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another
RDS station starts transmitting a traffic
bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to
the other station for the duration of the
bulletin.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission
(announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current
functions are interrupted to allow the warning
to be received.

interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for

interval, the News function turns on and the
NEWS indicator is displayed.
NOTE
• If you choose the " 20min " setting, further
news bulletins will not be received for 20
minutes once the first news bulletin is received.
Setting the interval at the "OFF" factory default
indicates no News Timeout will be made,
meaning that additional news bulletins will
continue to be searched for.
•This function is only available if the desired
station sends PTY-code for news bulletin or
belongs to <Enhanced Other Network> sending
PTY-code for news bulletin.

accessories shipped with the unit, as shown above.
Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the battery.
2. Make the proper input and output cable connections for
each unit.
3. Connect the speaker cables of the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it
to the speaker connector in your vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it
to the external power connector on your vehicle.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
8. Press the reset button.
2CAUTION
• If your car is not prepared for this special connectionsystem, consult your KENWOOD dealer.
• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO)
when the antenna cord has an ISO plug.
• Make sure that all cable connections are securely
made by inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC
position, or if the ignition cable is connected to a
power source with constant voltage such as a battery
cable, the power will not be linked with the ignition
(i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition).
If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition,
connect the ignition cable to a power source that can
be turned on and off with the ignition key.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have
not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse
with one with the same rating.
• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch
metal on the car or anything else conducting
electricity. To prevent short circuits do not remove the
caps from unused terminals or from the ends of the
unconnected cables.
• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals
to which they correspond. The unit may receive
56
damage or fail to work if you share the - cables
and/or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other
similar material.
• During use, the surface temperature of this unit will
become high, therefore it should not be mounted
where anything sensitive to the heat, such as people
or resins, would come into contact with it.
• Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise
heat build-up occurs and the unit may be damaged.
• Install this unit in a location which allows heat to easily
dissipate.
Once installed, do not place any object on top of the
unit.
• Install the unit securely in a location that does not
interfere with driving.
• Mount the monitor unit so that the mounting angle is
30° or less.

Installing the Antenna Units
• Attach the antenna to the inner glass surface of the rear window using double-sided tape. Carefully check the installation
location as the tape can only be stuck on once.
• If the surface temperature of the glass of the rear window is low, warm it by turning on the power of the rear defogger.
A cold window glass surface will weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape.
Also, if installation inside the cabin is performed on a day with high humidity or when it is raining, the high humidity level will
weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape.
• Do not install the antenna in a location where it may obstruct the field of view during driving, such as on the windshield.
1 Check the location where the antenna is to be attached.Clean off
any grease or dirt from the installation location using the supplied
glass cleaner (Accessory P), clean the area with water and allow
to dry.
Antenna parts
2 CAUTION
Clean the glass thoroughly as failure to clean the glass can not
only weaken the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape, but
may also cause it to come loose.

2 Remove the protective strips from the antenna parts and the
back of the antenna unit.
3 Attach the double-sided tape of the antenna parts and the
antenna unit to the rear windshield glass. Attach the doublesided tape by firmly pressing down from the top. Secure cables
using the supplied clampers.
