• When extending the ignition, battery or

ground cables, make sure to use

automotive-grade cables or other cables

with an area of 0.75mm

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.

NOTE

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

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

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

lens fogging, discs 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

whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.

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,

or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause

the unit to malfunction.

Removing the Disc

Only remove the disc from the machine in a

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.

various special playback control operations. This player can play both

of these VCDs.

MPEG: Moving Picture Expert Group (DVD, VCD)

This is an international standard for digital video and audio

compression and decompression in media.

Dolby Digital

This is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby

Laboratories. It is compatible with 5.1-channel surround audio as well

as normal stereo (2-channel) audio and can accommodate a large

amount of audio data efficiently in a disc.

DTS

Name of a digital surround system developed by Digital Theater

Systems, Inc.

Top menu/menu (DVD)

Some DVDs display more than one title in a screen. This screen is

referred to as the title menu.

The DVD menu is the item display (menu screen) for use in setting

operations. The DVD menu can be recalled any time during playback

to perform settings according to the current software, including the

audio switching between Dolby Digital and PCM, switching of

language used in the subtitles and spoken voice.

Title number (DVD)

The title is the largest unit of video and audio recorded in a DVD. It

usually corresponds to a single movie of video software or an album

(sometimes a piece of music) of music software. The numbers

assigned to individual titles are referred to as the title numbers.

Chapter number (DVD)

The chapter is a section of video and audio recorded in a DVD. A title

is composed of several chapters. The numbers assigned to individual

numbers assigned to individual tracks are referred to as the track

numbers.

With most of music Discs, a track is assigned to a piece of music.

However, with a VCD, the sections of the contents do not always

correspond to the assigned tracks.

As (special) playback functions such as skipping and programming of

ordinary Discs are based on track number data, such playback

functions are sometimes impossible with some VCDs.

P.B.C.: Play-Back Control (VCD)

When a VIDEO CD carries “Play Back Control capable” or similar

message on the disc or jacket, desired scenes and information can

be played back in an interactive manner using a hierarchical structure

while viewing the menu screens displayed on the TV screen.
