to this unit  
2WARNING  
To prevent injury or fire, take the following  
precautions:  
Kenwood disc changers/ CD players released in 1998  
or later can be connected to this unit.  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any  
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside  
the unit.  
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood dealer  
for connectable models of disc changers/ CD players.  
Note that any Kenwood disc changers/ CD players  
released in 1997 or earlier and disc changers made by  
other makers cannot be connected to this unit.  
Connecting unsupported disc changers/CD players to  
this unit may result in damage.  
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and  
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting  
and wiring work to professionals.  
Set the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for the  
applicable Kenwood disc changers/ CD players.  
The functions you can use and the information that  
can be displayed may differ depending on the models  
being connected.  
2CAUTION  
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 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 place the faceplate (and the faceplate case)  
in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or  
humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or  
the possibility of water splashing.  
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals  
of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it  
is a piece of precision equipment.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you  
connect them incorrectly.  
Lens Fogging  
When 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, this  
condensation on the lens may not allow CDs 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 while, consult your Kenwood  
dealer.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with  
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong  
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.  
Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD slot  
If you try to load a 8 cm (3 in.) CD with its adapter into  
the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and  
damage the unit.

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
¤
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF  
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit  
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-  
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the  
antenna cord has an ISO plug.  
Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by  
inserting jacks until they lock completely.  
If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position, or  
if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with  
constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not  
be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off  
along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit’s power  
with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power  
source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not  
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one  
with the same rating.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove  
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the  
terminals.  
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail  
to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them to  
any metal part in the car.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the  
ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the  
battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.  
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and  
connect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle.  
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and  
connect it to the external power connector on your  
vehicle.  
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.
