• 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.
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
NOTE
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 cause the
indicator letters to peel off.

Safety precautions
Cleaning the Tape Head
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.
Handling Cassette Tapes
• 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.
• 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.
