Handling Compact discs

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch
the surface or erases characters.

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. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.

CAUTION

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean
it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if
you put them in a dusty CD slot.

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 the unit
still does not operate normally after a whilst,
consult your Kenwood dealer.

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

(the side opposite the label) when holding
it.

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 CD.
