Safety Precautions
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 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.
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.

Safety Precautions
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or
condensation may form on the lens in the CD player of the unit.
Called lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play. In such a
situation, remove the disc and wait for the condensation to
evaporate. If after the condensation has evaporated the unit still does
not operate normally, consult your Kenwood dealer.
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 while.
Loading and Replacing the Batteries for the Remote
Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the dashboard.
Loading and Replacing the Batteries
1.Use two R03 ("AAA"-size) 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.
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children. Contact a doctor
immediately if the battery is accidentally swallowed.
· 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.
NOTE
WARNING
CAUTION
· You cannot view video pictures while the vehicle is moving. To enjoy
video pictures, find a safe place to park and engage the parking
brake.
· 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.
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 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.
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
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.

Playing a CD 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 CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
· Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.
· Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
· Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight such as a car seat or above the
fascia panel (dashboard) or other hot
places.
· If you will not be using the unit for a long
period of time remove the CDs from the unit
and put them back in their cases. Do not
stack CDs that have been removed from
their cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD 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 CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
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 CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction. You may damage the
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as
it ejects.
Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the
CD slot
If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.
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.
Do Not Use Non-Standard CD's
· Using non-standard Video CD's may cause
electronic noise to appear on the screen, or
otherwise prevent your equipment from
functioning properly.
· Be sure to use CDs with disc marks
only for this unit.
About Video CD Formats
Your CD player can play version 2.0 discs.
However, the PBC (Play Back Control)
function will not operate.
