2
(AWG18) or more
to prevent cable deterioration and damage
to the cable coating.
To prevent short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., 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.

Safety precautions
Reset button
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 short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
During installation, do not use any screws
except for the ones provided. The use of
improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
Do not apply excessive force to the open
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so
will cause damage or breakdown.
2CAUTION
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, 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.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the
CD slot
If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.
2CAUTION

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.
There is no image on the monitor at times
other than DVD mode.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.
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.
Cleaning the Disc Slot
As dust can accumulate in the Disc slot,
clean it occasionally. Your Discs can get
scratched if you put them in a dusty Disc

(Except for some areas)
The label is attached to the chassis/case and
says that the component uses laser beams
that have been classified as Class 1. It means
that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are
of a weaker class. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.
Lens Fogging
Right after 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

Handling Discs
Playing a Disc 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 Discs
from getting scratched or damaged.
Handling Discs
Do not touch the recorded side of the Disc
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.
Do not stick tape on either side of the disc.
Storing Discs
Do not store discs in areas exposed to
direct sunlight – such as a car seat or
above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or
other hot places.
Remove discs from the unit when not
listening to them for a whilst, and put
them back in their cases. Do not stack
discs that have been removed from their
cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning Discs
If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
centre of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean discs with conventional record
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New Discs for Burrs
When playing a new disc for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may
not load properly or may skip whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the disc
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets,

horizontal direction. You may damage the
surface of the disc if you try pulling it down
as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape Discs
Be sure to use round shape Discs only for
this unit and do not use any special shape
Discs. Use of special shape Discs may
cause the unit to malfunction.
Do Not Use Discs with Sticker on the
Labelled Side
Do not use the disc with the label sticker
stuck on it.
Using such a disc may cause the disc to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off,
resulting in malfunction of the unit.

Do not apply excessive force to the faceplate bracket without
attaching the faceplate. Doing so will cause the faceplate
bracket to be deformed.
Do not touch the connector on the faceplate bracket after
removing the faceplate. Touching the connector may cause
damage to the unit.
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 whilst 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.
Reattaching the Faceplate:
Hold the faceplate so that the control panel faces the front
toward you and set the left side of the faceplate in the
faceplate bracket.
Do not set the right side of the faceplate in the faceplate bracket
first, when reattaching the faceplate. Doing so may cause the
connector on the faceplate bracket to malfunction.
Press the right side of the faceplate until it locks.
