C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers
can be connected.
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 0.75mm
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.

If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.
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.
• Do not apply excessive force to the moving
faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or
malfunction.

Safety precautions
• 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.
Cleaning the CD Slot
NOTE
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.
• If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Press the reset button if the disc auto
changer is first controlled and operates
incorrectly. The original operating condition
will return.
• The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players being
connected.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Lens Fogging
Reset button
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.
• We strongry recommend the use of the
Security Code function (see p. 28) to prevent
theft.
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
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.
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.

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
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight (such as a car seat or the
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.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
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 while playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(the side opposite the label) when holding it.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not
listening to them for a while, and put them
back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that
are removed from their cases or prop them
against something.
Burrs
Burrs
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
center 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.
Tape

Handling Compact discs
Do Not Load CD Accessories
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labeled 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 stabilizers, 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, holding it flat. 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.

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive
signals besides those of regular radio programs, such as
network information being transmitted from radio stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS
capability), the program service name of the station is
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly
which station is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data
for the same station. When you are making long trips, this
function automatically switches to the particular frequency
with the best reception for the particular network of stations
that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,
broadcasting the same program, that has better reception.
These include stations stored in the station preset memory
that you often listen to.
NOTE
Pressing the TI button while in the MW/LW band automatically
switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band
is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:
Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI
stations in a certain band.
NOTE
Enhanced Other Network
• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to
another TI station.
• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception
starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks stations with
better reception.
• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information
station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>
services, you can still have traffic information received.
• Pressing the TI button for at least one second when the TI
function is on in the tape or disc mode results in a change to
the frequency display of the traffic information station for five
seconds.
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit
information about other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts
transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches
to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.
