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.  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully  
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of  
place during collisions and other jolts.  
• When extending the ignition, battery or  
ground cables, make sure to use  
automotive-grade cables or other cables  
with an area of 0.75mm (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.  
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.  
2
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,  
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers  
can be connected.  
• 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.  
• 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

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.  
You can damage both your unit and  
the CD changer if you connect them  
incorrectly.

Cleaning the FaceplateTerminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
The marking of products using lasers  
(Except for some areas)  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
Cleaning the Unit  
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 whilst,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
Cleaning the CD Slot  
As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean  
it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if  
you put them in a dusty CD slot.

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.  
Storing CDs  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to  
direct sunlight – such as a car seat or  
above the fascia panel (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.  
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 whilst playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
Egnlish  
Handling CDs  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not  
listening to them for a whilst, and put  
them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs  
that have been removed from their cases  
or prop them against something.  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD  
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when  
holding it.  
Burrs  
Burrs  
Cleaning CDs  
If a CD 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 CDs with conventional record  
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals  
such as paint thinner or benzene.  
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 in Slot  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labelled 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.  
Do not use commercially available CD  
accessories that can be loaded into the CD  
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets,  
or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause  
the unit to malfunction.  
• 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.  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction. You may damage the  
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down  
as it ejects.  
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark  
only for this unit.  
• 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.

Notes on playing MP3 files  
This unit can play MP3 files. Note, however, that the MP3 file  
recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing  
MP3 files, pay attention to the following restrictions.  
Entering file and folder names  
When entering file and folder names, use the alphanumeric  
characters described above only. If you use any other character for  
entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may  
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3 file recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,  
CD-R, and CD-RW.  
Egnlish  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 files which have the  
MP3 file name extension (.MP3). MP3 files should therefore be  
saved with the MP3 extension.  
Acceptable medium formats  
The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660 Level 1 and  
Level 2 excluding the extended formats. When reading an MP3 file  
written in a format other than ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, the unit  
may fail to play the file normally or display the file or folder name  
correctly.  
Writing files into a medium  
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all  
the files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or  
non-MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts  
playing MP3 files.  
The major specifications of ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file  
or a file search or folder search may not be performed smoothly.  
You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with  
MP3 files on the medium.  
• Maximum number of files and folders per directory level:  
253 (files and folders in total)  
• Characters available to file and folder names:  
A - Z, 0 - 9, _(underscore)  
2CAUTION  
When playing MP3 files on a medium which also contains non-MP3  
files or folders, observe the following precautions. Loading such a  
medium may produce loud noise to break the speakers.  
• Maximum number of characters in file names :  
Level 1: 12 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)  
Level 2: 31 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension)  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the  
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer  
When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3  
file, set the transfer bit rate of the encoder to fixed 128 kbps.  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 files up to the  
maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on  
an empty disk up to the maximum  
MP3 extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 files as long as they have  
the MP3 extension.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3 file.  
MP3 file playing order  
When selected for play, folder search, file search, or for folder select,  
files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written  
by the CD writer.  
capacity at once, check Disc at Once.  
Entering ID3 tag  
Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1 and  
1.1; the character code is ASCII (see  
List of Codes).The ID3 tag versions 1  
and 1.1 have the following size  
restrictions:  
Because of this, the order in which they are to be recorded does not  
match the order in which they are played. You may be able to set the  
order in which MP3 files are to be played by writing them onto a  
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play  
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.  
• Album name: 30 bytes or less  
• Artist name: 30 bytes or less  
• Song title: 30 bytes or less
