Frequently Asked Questions - KVT514 KENWOOD

How to install the Kenwood KVT514 DVD player?

Installation requires professional skills. First disconnect the ⊖ terminal of the battery. Connect the cables in order: ground (black), battery (yellow), ignition (red). Then connect the speakers and other accessories. Secure the unit with the provided screws and press the reset button.

What to do if the unit displays 'PROTECT'?

The 'PROTECT' message indicates a possible short circuit in the speaker wire or contact with the chassis. Check the speaker cables and ensure they are not shorted to ground. Replace the fuse if necessary.

How to connect a rear view camera?

Connect the camera input cable (yellow) to the REAR VIEW CAMERA jack of the unit. Also connect the violet/white cable of the reverse sensor to the vehicle's reverse light switch.

Can I use the steering wheel controls?

Yes, provided you use a steering wheel remote adapter specific to your vehicle (not included). Connect the light blue/yellow cable to the adapter.

What type of screws to use for installation?

Use only the screws provided with the unit (accessories ⑤ and ⑥). Never use your own screws, as they could damage the unit.

How to remove the unit after installation?

First remove the hard rubber frame (escutcheon) using the removal tools. Insert the two tools into the side slots, lower them, and pull the unit forward.

How to reset the unit?

After connecting all power and installing the unit, press the reset button located on the front panel.

What to do if a fuse blows?

First check that no cable is short-circuited. Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same rating (15A). If the problem persists, consult a professional.

Can I connect an iPod?

Yes, via the optional KCA-iP301V adapter. Connect the adapter to the USB jack or audio/video input, then connect your iPod.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never connect the ignition and battery cables to ground (chassis): fire hazard. Install the unit in a well-ventilated place (cooling fan). Do not touch hot metal parts after use.

USER MANUAL KVT514 KENWOOD

MANUEL D'INSTALLATION

MONITOR CON RECEPTOR DVD

1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground, battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the battery.
8. Press the reset button.

▲WARNING

- 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.

▲CAUTION

- Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. 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 the mounting and wiring work to professionals.
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.
• 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.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.
• If the power is not turned ON ("PROTECT" is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be checked.
• 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.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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). For example, if you connect the ④ connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the ⊖ connector to a rear output terminal.
  • 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.
• This unit has the cooling fan (page 5) to decrease the internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the cooling fan of the unit are blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result in malfunction.
