English Before Use 2WARNING 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 wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires 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. 2CAUTION 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.

Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the dashboard. • 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 panel and monitor When the operator panel and monitor panels are dirty, wipe and clean them using a soft cloth (such as a commercially available silicon coated cloth). When contaminated excessively, clean them using a cloth dipped in a neutral detergent first, then remove the detergent using a dry cloth. Do not use a hard cloth and a volatile chemical (such as an alcohol). If used, the panel surface may be scratched or printed letters may be erased. Cleaning the disc slot 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. 4 English Region codes in the world The DVD players are given a region code according to the country or area it is marketed, as shown in the following map. 1 5 2 1 6 2 3 4 1 5 2 4 Icons on the DVD discs Icon Description Indicates the region code where the disc can be played. 8 Number of voice languages recorded with the audio function.
