If the unit does not seem to be working right, try pressing the reset button first. The reset button is a small, recessed button on the faceplate. If that does not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood dealer. Press the reset button if the Disc auto changer fails to operate correctly; normal operation should be restored.

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

The Unit/Faceplate: If the faceplate is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. For heavy stains, use a cloth moistened with a neutral cleaner, then wipe the detergent off. Do not apply spray cleaner directly to the unit or use volatile liquids like thinner or alcohol.

The CD Slot: As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot, clean it every once in a while to prevent CDs from being scratched.

There are two common reasons for this issue:

1. The fuse has blown. After checking for short circuits in the wires, replace the fuse with one with the same rating.

2. The vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position. Connect the ignition wire to the same wire as the battery wire.

The computer chip in the unit may not be functioning normally. Press the reset button on the unit.

The battery wire and/or ignition wire has not been connected to the proper terminal. Connect the wires correctly, referring to the section on in your manual.

This could be due to incorrect speaker wiring.

Check if a speaker wire is being pinched by a screw in the car.

Ensure the speakers are wired correctly. Reconnect the speaker wires so that each output terminal is connected to a different speaker.

There are two possible reasons:

1. The car antenna is not extended. Pull the antenna out all the way.

2. The antenna control wire is not connected. Connect the wire correctly, referring to the section on in your manual.

Please check the following:

The CD is upside-down. Load the CD with the labeled side up.

The disc is loaded in a different slot from that specified in the changer. Eject the disc magazine and check the number for the specified disc.

The disc is severely scratched. Try another disc instead.

The cause may be that more than 10 minutes have elapsed since the vehicle’s ACC switch was turned OFF. The disc can only be removed within 10 minutes of the ACC switch being turned OFF. If more than 10 minutes have passed, turn the ACC switch ON again and press the Eject button.
