IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About the disc changer to be

connected:

To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"

switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to

"N".

When you connect a model with no "O-N"

switch, the converter cord CA-DS100

available as an option may be required. For

details, consult your Kenwood dealer.

If a model with no "O-N" switch is

connected, some unavailable functions and

information that cannot be displayed are

generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP,

Magazine random play, and CD Text display.

Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,

C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers

can be connected.

2WARNING

2CAUTION

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 0.75mm

(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.

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.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

• 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.

• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to

strong shock.

The unit may break or crack because it

contains glass parts.

• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the

LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The

liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your

health or even fatal.

If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD

contacts your body or clothing, wash it off

with soap immediately.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the

screws provided. If you use the wrong

screws, you could damage the unit.

• Do not apply excessive force to the moving

faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or

malfunction.

• Do not apply excessive force to the open

faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will

cause damage or breakdown.

Safety precautions

• 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.

• The functions that can be used and the

information that can be displayed will differ

depending on the external disc players being

connected.

Cleaning the Tape Head

NOTE

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.

• If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the

RESET button. The unit returns to factory

settings when the RESET button is pressed.

If the unit still fails to operate properly after

the RESET button has been pressed, contact

your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.

• Press the reset button if the disc auto

changer is first controlled and operates

incorrectly. The original operating condition

will return.

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.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

2CAUTION

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit

may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the

faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile

liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch

the surface or erases characters.

• 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.

damaged by shocks or jolts. For that reason, keep the faceplate

in its special storage case while detached.

• Do not expose the faceplate or its storage case to direct

sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with

too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
