Safety precautions  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully  
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of  
place during collisions and other jolts.  
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 set the removed faceplate or the face-  
plate case in areas exposed to direct sunlight,  
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 extending the ignition, battery or  
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-  
grade cables or other cables with an area of  
2
0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent cable  
deterioration and damage to the cable coat-  
ing.  
• 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.  
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught  
between the faceplate and the unit.  
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to  
strong shock.  
The unit may break or crack because it con-  
tains glass parts.  
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD  
is damaged or broken due to shock. The liq-  
uid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your  
health or even fatal.  
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the  
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your  
fingers.  
• 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 mal-  
function.  
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the face-  
plate and the unit.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD con-  
tacts your body or clothing, wash it off with  
soap immediately.  
• During installation, 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  
Cleaning the Unit  
Cleaning the Tape Head  
NOTE  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
After you have used the tape player many  
times over a long period, magnetic powder  
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the  
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration  
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a  
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use  
in car audio systems.  
• If you experience problems during installa-  
tion, 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.  
Egnlish  
2CAUTION  
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 cause the  
indicator letters to peel off.  
Handling Cassette Tapes  
PWR OFF  
• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone  
slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a  
pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing  
slack cassette tapes can result in the tape  
tangling around the capstan and/or pinch  
rollers, causing trouble.  
• Do not play a deformed cassette or one  
whose label is starting to come off, as it can  
cause the unit to malfunction.  
MW/LW  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Reset button  
• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as  
above the fascia panel (dashboard) and other  
spots exposed to direct sunlight, or near  
heater outlets. They can deform the cassette.  
• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,  
such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes  
are very thin, and can tangle easily around  
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,  
causing unit failure.  
• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when  
not listening to it for a whilst. If you leave a  
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the  
tape head and cause unit malfunction.

RDS features (See page 6)  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
AF (Alternative Frequency) Function  
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive sig-  
nals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as net-  
work information being transmitted from radio stations.  
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS capa-  
bility), 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 frequen-  
cy with the best reception for the particular network of sta-  
tions that you want to listen to. The data is automatically  
stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS sta-  
tions, broadcasting the same programme, that has better  
reception. These include stations stored in the station preset  
memory that you often listen to.  
When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to  
another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the  
same RDS network with better reception.

but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin,  
the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the  
duration of the bulletin.  
Displaying Frequencies:  
Hold down the CLK button for one second or more.  
The frequency for the RDS station will be displayed for five  
seconds instead of the station name.  
NOTE

being listened to starts to broadcast EON frequency data.  
When no other stations with stronger reception are available for  
the same programme in the RDS network, you may hear the  
incoming broadcast in bits and snatches. Turn off the AF function  
in such a case.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)  
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warn-  
ing to be received.
