To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
· Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
· When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
· If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
· Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
· Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
2WARNING
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
· Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.
· Do not open the top or bottom covers of the
unit.
· 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 subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.
· When replacing a fuse, only use a new one
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
· To prevent a short circuit when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
· Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
· Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided. If you use the wrong
screws, you could damage the unit.
2CAUTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. If you want
to use older changers with the unit, follow
the directions below according to the type of
changer you own:
· KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400
Use the extension cable and the control box
attached to the CD changer, and the optional
CA-DS100 converter cord.
· KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-
C601 / KDC-C401
Use the extension cable attached to the CD
changer, and the optional CA-DS100
converter cord.
· KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /
non-Kenwood CD changers
Cannot be used with this model.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
The illustrations of the display and the panel
appearing in this manual are examples used
to explain more clearly how the controls are
used. Therefore, what appears on the display
in the illustrations may differ from what
appears on the display on the actual
equipment, and some of the illustrations on
the display may represent something
impossible in actual operation.

· CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not
undergone finalization processing cannot be
played. (For more information on finalization
processing, refer to the manual for your CD-
R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW
recorder.) Additionally, depending on the
recording status, it may prove impossible to
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-
RW.
· If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
· If the unit does not seem to be working right,
try pressing the reset button first. If that does
not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood
dealer.

Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch
the surface of the panel and/or cause the
indicator letters to peel off.
Handling Cassette Tapes
· Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone
slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a
pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing
slack cassette tapes can result in the tape
tangling around the capstan and/or pinch
rollers, causing trouble.
· Do not play a deformed cassette or one
whose label is starting to come off, as it can
cause the unit to malfunction.
· Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on
dashboards and other spots exposed to
direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They
can deform the cassette.
· Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,
such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes
are very thin, and can tangle easily around
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,
causing unit failure.
· Remove a cassette tape from the unit when
not listening to it for a while. If you leave a
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction.
2CAUTION
Safety precautions
Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have listened to many cassettes
over a long period of time, magnetic powder
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use
in car audio systems.
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD
slot.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible 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.

Handling Compact discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
incorrectly, resulting in worsened
sound quality. Take the following
precautions to prevent your CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
· Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the
side opposite the label) when holding it.
· The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is
more fragile than that on an ordinary music CD,
and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a
CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely to cause
skipping when the disc is played. For these
reasons, handle the disc very carefully. Detailed
handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or
CD-RW package: read this information carefully
before using the disc.
· Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Do Not Load CD Accessories
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot,
such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD
cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to
malfunction.
Storing CDs
· Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard)
or other hot places.
A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a
music CD to damage from high temperatures
and humidity, and in some cases, may
become unusable if left in the car for long
periods of time.
· Remove CDs from the unit when not listening
to them for a while, and put them back in their
cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed
from their cases or prop them against
something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using
a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft
cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc
and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with
conventional record cleaners, anti-static
formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or
benzene.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
· Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this
unit and do not use any special shape CDs.
Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit
to malfunction.
· Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time, check
that there are not any burrs stuck to the
perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs
with burrs stuck on them may not load properly
or may skip while playing. Remove burrs using
a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may
damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling
it down as it ejects.
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labeled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck
on it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting
in malfunction of the unit.
