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".  
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.  
Precautions when connecting disc changers  
released in 1997 or earlier.  
If a model with no "O-N" switch is  
connected, some unavailable functions and  
information that cannot be displayed are  
generated.  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
The unit may break or crack because it  
contains glass parts.  
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 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 use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided. If you use the wrong  
screws, you could damage the unit.  
The marking of products using lasers  
(Except for some areas)  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
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.  
• 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 Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot  
If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter  
into the unit, the adapter might separate from  
the CD and damage the unit.

Safety precautions  
Lens Fogging  
Cleaning the CD Slot  
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,  
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can get  
scratched if you put them in a dusty CD slot.  
NOTE  
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 while,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the  
Reset button. The unit returns to factory  
settings when the Reset button is pressed.  
If the unit still fails to operate properly after  
the Reset button has been pressed, contact  
your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.  
• Press the reset button if the disc auto  
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal  
operation should be restored.  
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.  
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.  
Reset button  
• We recommend the use of the Security  
Code function (see p. 30) to prevent theft.  
• 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.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note,  
however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats  
acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to  
the following restrictions.  
Entering ID3 tag and Contents  
Description  
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version  
1.x.  
The right table shows the characters  
that can be displayed in this unit.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,  
CD-R, and CD-RW.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent  
malfunction.  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only file  
Acceptable medium formats  
names and folder names that can be  
entered and displayed.  
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.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA which have the  
MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).  
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The  
maximum number of characters used for file name including the  
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in  
parentheses.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)  
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)  
• Joliet (64 characters)  
• Romeo (128 characters)  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not  
play correctly.  
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.  
For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the  
writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below.  
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64  
• Maximum number of folders: 50  
Writing files into a medium  
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks  
all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or  
non-MP3/WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts  
playing MP3/WMA.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next  
MP3/WMA file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed  
smoothly.  
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be  
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not  
properly displayed.  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file  
with the MP3/WMA extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data as long as  
they have the MP3/WMA extension.  
Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD writer  
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in WMA data  
with the WMA encoder.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.  
Transfer bit rate: 64k —192 kbps  
• Sampling frequency: 32k, 44.1k 48k Hz  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the  
maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an  
empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.

About MDs  
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to  
direct sunlight (such as on a dashboard) or in  
other places that attain high temperatures.  
The MD cartridge will become misshapen  
and will no longer be usable.  
• MDs designed for use with data cannot be  
used. Please use MDs designed for music.  
Handling Mini discs  
• 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.  
• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead  
to breakdown.  
• 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.)  
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a  
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be  
placed in an MD case for storage.
