Safety precautions  
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.  
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.  
• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground  
wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires  
or other wires with a 0.75mm² (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.  
• 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 set the removed faceplate or 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.  
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells,  
turn off the power immediately and consult your  
Kenwood dealer.  
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the  
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your  
fingers.  
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught between  
the faceplate and the unit.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock,  
as it is a piece of precision equipment.  
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to  
strong shock.  
The unit may break or crack because it contains  
glass parts.  
• 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 a short circuit when replacing a fuse,  
first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the faceplate  
and 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.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.

KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players released in  
1998 or later can be connected to this 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.  
Unsupported connection may result in damage.  
Setting the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for the  
applicable KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players.  
The functions that can be used and the information

consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the Reset

Reset button  
• 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.  
LX-bus connection  
The LX AMP and the sensor unit cannot be  
connected simultaneously.  
You must connect any of them at a time.  
(The power supply does not turn ON if you have  
connected both of them.)  
Lens Fogging  
In cold climates, there may be a period after you  
turn on your vehicle’s heater when the lens that  
guides the laser beam used in your MD player fogs  
up. If this happens, you cannot play mini discs. Take  
out discs and the fogging will disappear. If it does  
not return to normal after several hours, contact  
your Kenwood dealer.

Notes  
Cleaning the Unit  
Handling Mini discs  
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 MD shutter is designed so that it cannot  
be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will be  
damaged and use of the MD will no longer be  
possible. If the shutter has been opened due to  
some cause, be careful not to touch the recording  
portion with a finger. Doing so will cause the  
sound to skip.  
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 Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
• Do not use an MD that has a peeling label. Use of  
an MD that has a loose or peeling label may cause  
problems, such as the label coming off inside the  
player and the resultant inability to eject the MD.  
• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge surface  
with a dry cloth before use. Using an oil-soiled  
cartridge in particular may result in the disc not  
loading or being unable to eject it. (At time of  
cleaning, be careful not to open the shutter.)  
About GSM Hands Free Unit  
Refer to the instruction manual of GSM Hands  
Free Unit KCA-HF521 (optional accessory),  
when connected, for the operation method.  
The locations of the buttons to be pressed are  
shown below.  
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a prolonged  
period. The ejected MD should be placed in an  
MD case for storage.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of  
the battery.  
1
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.  
..........1  
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and  
connect it to the speaker connector in your  
vehicle.  
2
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.  
..........2  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.  
3
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-  
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
..........1  
Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when  
the antenna cord has an ISO plug.  
4
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.  
..........1  
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.  
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.

Troubleshooting Guide  
What might seem to be a malfunction in your unit  
may just be the result of slight misoperation or  
miswiring. Before calling service, first check the  
following table for possible problems.  
? No sound can be heard, or the volume is low.  
The fader or balance settings are set all the way to  
one side.  
Center the fader and balance settings.  
The input/output wires or wiring harness are  
connected incorrectly.  
Reconnect the input/output wires or the  
wiring harness correctly. See the section on  
'Connecting Wires to Terminals'.  
General  
? The power does not turn ON.  
The fuse has blown.  
The values of Volume offset are low.  
After checking for short circuits in the wires,  
replace the fuse with one with the same  
rating.  
Turn up the Volume offset, referring to the  
section on 'Audio Control' (page 8).  
The 'Built-in Amp Mute Setting' (page 26) is ON.  
Turn it OFF.
