Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy/Cause
Sound cannot be heard. Adjust the volume to the optimum level. / Check the cords and connections.
“PROTECT” appears and no operations can be done.	Check to be sure the terminals of the speaker leads are covered with insulating tape properly, then reset the unit. If “PROTECT” does not disappear, consult your nearest service center.
Sound cannot be heard. / The unit does not turn on. / Information shown on the display is incorrect.	The connectors are dirty. Clean the connectors. (page 4)
The unit does not work at all. Reset the unit. (page 4)
[P-OFF WAIT] does not work. Turn off the demonstration mode. (page 7)
Radio reception is poor. / Static noise while listening to the radio.	Connect the antenna firmly. / Pull the antenna out all the way.
“IN” flashes. The CD player is not operating properly. Reinsert the disc properly. If the condition did not improve, turn off the unit and consult your nearest service center.
CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back and tracks cannot be skipped.	Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW (finalize with the component which you used for recording).
Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. Stop playback while driving on rough roads. / Change the disc. / Check the cords and connections.
“NA FILE” appears. The unit is playing an unsupported audio file.
“NO DISC” appears. Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
“TOC ERROR” appears. The CD is quite dirty. / The CD is upside-down. / The CD is scratched a lot. Try another disc instead.
“ERROR 99” appears. The unit is malfunctioning for some reason. Press the reset button on the unit. If the “ERROR 99” code does not disappear, consult your nearest service center.

Symptom Remedy/Cause
"COPY PRO" appears. A copy-protected file is played.
"READ ERROR" appears. Copy the files and folders for the USB device again. If the error message is still displayed, initialize the USB device or use other USB devices.
"NO DEVICE" appears. No USB device is connected. Connect an USB device, and change the source to USB again.
"NO MUSIC" appears. The connected USB device contains no playable audio file.
"NA DEVICE" appears. Connect a supported USB device, and check the connections.
"USB ERROR" appears. Remove the USB device, turn the unit off, then turn it on again. If the unit still showing the same display, try to connect another USB device.
"iPod ERROR" appears. Reconnect the iPod. / Reset the iPod.
Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc.
Tracks cannot play back as you have intended them to play.	Playback order is determined when files are recorded.
"READING" keeps flashing. Longer readout time is required. Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.
Elapsed playing time is not correct. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded.
The number of songs contained in "SONGS" category of this unit is different from that contained in "SONGS" category of iPod.	Podcast files are not counted in this unit as this unit does not support the playback of podcast files.
Correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name).	This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. Cyrillic alphabets (upper case) can also be displayed if [RUSSIAN SET] is set to [ON]. (page 7, 8)

⑧ Escutcheon (×1)
© Mounting sleeve .... (×1)
(D) Casing for faceplate ..... (×1)
⑤ Wiring harness .... (×1)
⑤ Removal tool ..... (×2)

Basic procedure

1 Remove the key from the ignition switch, then disconnect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.
2 Make proper input and output wire connections.

→ "Wiring connection" (page 20, 21)

3 Install the unit to your car.
→ "Installing the unit" (page 22)
4 Reconnect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.
5 Reset the unit. (page 4)

Warning

■The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
■If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
- Disconnect the battery's negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
■Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
- Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after installation.

Caution

If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
■ Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided.
■ Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not hit the lid of the console (if any) when closing and opening.
■ After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
■Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30^ or less.
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren't touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
■Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the ⊖ wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
■When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
■ Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
■Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave this work to professionals. If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
