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.  
A disc changer doesn't work when it is  
connected without using these options.  
If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected,  
some unavailable functions and information  
that cannot be displayed are generated.  
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,  
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 0.75mm2  
(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.  
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.  
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange  
smells, turn off the power immediately and  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD  
changer if you connect them incorrectly.  
• 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.  
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the  
LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The  
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your  
health or even fatal.  
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.  
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.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD  
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off  
with soap immediately.  
• 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  
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  
operatin should be restored.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
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. 18) to prevent theft.

If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow)  
to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in  
turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power  
source running through the fuse box.  
1
.........1  
5
.........1  
.........2  
2CAUTION  
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the  
ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off  
with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power  
source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the  
battery may die.  
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the  
faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to  
cause 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 a short circuit, 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 be damaged or fail to work if you  
share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.  
• When only two speakers are being connected to the system,  
connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals  
or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).  
For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker  
to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a  
rear output terminal

Do not use any accessories other than those provided with your unit. If  
you use other accessories, you may damage the unit.  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and  
disconnect the - battery.  
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground,  
battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate once to  
make the faceplate control panel appear.
