Precautions

To refer to Instruction manual, a PC loaded with Microsoft®
Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 or Mac OS X® 10.4 or later is required
in addition to Adobe® Reader™ 7.1 or Adobe® Acrobat® 7.1 or
later.
The Instruction manual is subject to change for modification
of specifications and so forth. Be sure to download the latest
edition of the Instruction manual for reference.

How to read this manual
• The panels shown in this guide are examples used to
provide clear explanations of the operations. For this
reason, they may be different from the actual panels.
• In this manual, each model name is abbreviated as follows.
– DNX893S: DNX8
– DNX773S, DNX7160BTS: DNX7
– DNX693S: DNX6
– DNX573S, DNX5160BTS : DNX5
If above icons are showed, read the article applicable to
the unit you use.
• In operation procedures, bracket shape indicates the key or
button you should control.
< >: indicates the name of panel buttons.
[ ]: indicates the name of touch keys

• When you purchase optional accessories, check with
your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with
your model and in your area.
• You can select language to display menus, audio file
tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P.80) in the
Instruction Manual.
• The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast Data System
feature won’t work where the service is not supported
by any broadcasting station.
• The unit may not function properly if the connectors
between the unit and front panel are dirty. Detach the
front panel and clean the connector with a cotton swab
gently, being careful not to damage the connector.

Ñ Precautions on battery

• Put the remote control in a place where it will not
move during braking or other operations. A dangerous
situation could result, if the remote control falls down
and gets wedged under the pedals while driving.
• Do not leave the battery near fire or under direct
sunlight. A fire, explosion or excessive heat generation
may result.
• Do not recharge, short, break up or heat the battery
or place it in an open fire. Such actions may cause the
battery to leak fluid. If spilled fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or on clothing, immediately rinse with water

Before use
and consult a physician.
• Place the battery out of reach of children. In the unlikely
event that a child swallows the battery, immediately
consult a physician.

Ñ Protecting the monitor

This unit may not correctly play discs which do not have
the mark.
• You cannot play a disc that has not been finalized. (For
the finalization process see your writing software, and
your recorder instruction manual.)

Ñ Acquiring GPS signal

• To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate
the monitor using a ballpoint pen or similar tool with
the sharp tip.

Ñ Lens fogging

When you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or
condensation may form on the lens in the disc player of
the unit. Called lens fogging, this condensation on the lens
may not allow discs to play. In such a situation, remove the
disc and wait for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while, consult your
KENWOOD dealer.

Ñ Precautions on handling discs

• Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.
• Do not stick tape etc. on the disc, or use a disc with tape
stuck on it.
• Do not use disc type accessories.
• Clean from the center of the disc and move outward.
• When removing discs from this unit, pull them out
horizontally.
• If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs, use the
disc only after removing the burrs with a ballpoint pen
etc.
• Discs that are not round cannot be used.

The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while
the system acquires satellite signals for the first time.
This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure
your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall
buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.
After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will
acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

Ñ About the front panel DNX8 DNX7

When removing the product from the box or installing it,
the front panel may be positioned at the angle shown in
(Fig. 1). This is due to the characteristics of mechanism the
product is equipped with.
When the product is first powered on works properly, the
front panel will automatically move into the position (initial
setting angle) shown in (Fig. 2).

(Fig. 1)

(Fig. 2)

Before use
Safety Precautions and Important
Information
Read this information carefully before starting to operate the
KENWOOD Car Navigation System and follow the instructions
in this manual. Neither KENWOOD nor Garmin shall be liable
for problems or accidents resulting from failure to observe
the instructions in this manual.

#WARNING

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations could result in an accident or collision resulting
in death or serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information displayed
on the navigation system to all available navigation sources,
including information from street signs, visual sightings,
and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or
questions before continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation system while
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of
the navigation system while driving, and use voice prompts
when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring prolonged use of the navigation system
controls while driving. Stop your vehicle in a safe and legal
manner before attempting such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough level to be able to
hear outside noises while driving. If you can no longer hear
outside noises, you may be unable to react adequately to the
traffic situation. This may cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the correct current
position of the vehicle the first time it is used after purchase,
or if the vehicle battery is disconnected. GPS satellite signals
will soon be received, however, and the correct position will
be displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the navigation
system at extreme temperatures can lead to malfunction or

4

damage. Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong
vibration, by metal objects, or by water getting inside the
unit.

#CAUTION

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations may result in injury or property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide you with
route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road
conditions, weather conditions, or other factors that may
affect safety or timing while driving.
Use the navigation system only as a navigational aid. Do
not attempt to use the navigation system for any purpose
requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The government system
is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment, including the navigation
system. Although the navigation system is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ñ Vehicle Battery Preservation

This navigation system can be used when the ignition key
is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve the battery, however,
it should be used with the engine running whenever
possible. Using the navigation system for a long time
with the engine switched off can cause the battery to run
down.

Ñ Map Data Information

One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with
the most complete and accurate cartography that is
available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we
identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources
contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is
either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
