Warning:

If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car...

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

How to reset your unit

• Your preset adjustments will also be erased.

How to forcibly eject a disc

"PLEASE" and "EJECT" appear alternately on the display.

• Be careful not to drop the disc when it ejects.
• If this does not work, reset your unit.

How to use the M MODE button

If you press M MODE, the unit goes into functions mode, then the number buttons and / buttons work as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.

To use these buttons for their original functions again after pressing M MODE, wait for 5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared or press M MODE again.

KD-APD58 is equipped with the steering wheel remote control function.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors. To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

Connector

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

After starting the heater in the car.
If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

Center holder

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Troubleshooting

What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service center.

Symptoms Remedies/Causes

General	·Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. ·Adjust the volume to the optimum level. ·Check the cords and connections.
	·The unit does not work at all. Reset the unit (see page 3).

	·Static noise while listening to the radio. Connect the antenna firmly.
Disc playback	·Disc cannot be played back. Insert the disc correctly.
	·CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back. ·Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot be skipped.	·Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW. ·Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component which you used for recording.
	·Disc can neither be played back nor ejected. ·Unlock the disc (see page 9). ·Eject the disc forcibly (see page 3).

Symptoms Remedies/Causes

MP3/WMA playback	·Tracks do not play back in the order you have intended them to play.	Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
	·Elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
