Kenwood KDC-X693 Car CD/ MP3 Player
keeps reading protect

Hi,
According to experts, error 5 on the player means that the player is reading the cd upside down or it cannot read the disc. you may need to run a cd cleaner ten check if it can read the cd again or if not you may need to take the player apart to clean it manually.
Cheers!!

If ur cd player wont read cd's you may try following steps:

* Clean your cd player's lenses with a cotton carefully.
* Your cd player might not be getting sufficient power.

This is a link to Kenwood for your KDC-X492 instruction manual. Look on page 22 for troubleshooting 'Protect Mode'.

I am not sure if this is something you have already tried but with the power on press the reset button that is just to the left of the USB plug and almost at the top of the above the IPod jack. It is real hard to see, I used a flashlight and found it when Mine did the same thing

More than likely it could be a internal problem with the radio. Also make sure the radio is secure properly. A lot of the newer radios r very sensitive n will notice the dumbest lil things anymore.
