Cleaning the unit

the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain
off with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner,
then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.

weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the disc player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, this condensation on the lens
may not allow discs 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 while, consult your KENWOOD
dealer.
