NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications, if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Location : Bottom Panel FCC WARNING This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made. NOTE This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. --3-- Safety precautions English 2WARNING To prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions: · When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating. · To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as 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 use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit. IMPORTANT INFORMATION You can enjoy a DVD with this unit alone when connecting it to an external monitor or audio equipment. Also, you can operate this unit connected to a center unit made by Kenwood to output sound. A Kenwood-made center unit that can be connected to this unit is called "Center Unit". NOTE · If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer. · The illustrations of the display and the panel appearing in this manual are examples used to explain more clearly how the controls are used. Therefore, what appears on the display in the illustrations may differ from what appears on the display on the actual equipment, and some of the illustrations on the display may represent something impossible in actual operation. About a center unit that can be connected to this unit: If a center unit (such as CD receivers) has capability for "N" of <"O-N" switch>, this unit can be connected to this unit. According to the operating instructions of a center unit, the setting of <"O-N" switch> is "N". This unit is, however, exclusive to "N". Therefore, <"O-N" switch> is unnecessary. If using a separate CD/MD changer switching unit "KCA-S210A", you can connect this unit to a center unit with disc changer control that has no capability for "N". See the operating instructions attached to KCA-S210A for details of connection. The functions available and/or information displayable may depend on types of units to which you connect. 2CAUTION To prevent damage to the unit, 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. · When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating.
