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.  
2
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.

Reset button  
• We recommend the use of the Security  
Code function (see p.24) to prevent theft.  
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult  
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).  
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.

during that period. For details, refer to the "Removing the  
faceplate" (page 10).  
NOTE  
When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn  
off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object  
and press the SRC button to turn the unit back on, then turn it  
off again to have it close properly.  
Do not try to press the buttons on the control panel as the  
faceplate is moving, as excessive force may damage the unit.  
During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left  
closed while ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open  
no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off.  
You can prevent tampering of the unit when letting someone  
else drive your car by keeping it closed this way.

The faceplate is a precision piece of equipment and can be  
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.

Connecting Wires to Terminals  
2WARNING  
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.
