IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About the disc changer/CD player to
be connected:
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N".
To connect a disc changer having no "O-N"
switch to this unit, the converter cord CA-
DS100 and/or switching adapter KCA-S210A
are required as options.
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 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.
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
• 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.
You can damage both your unit and the CD
changer if you connect them incorrectly.
• 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.
• 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.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.
• 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.

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
RDS (Radio Data System)

When listening to an RDS station, the
programme service name of the station is
displayed, advising you quickly which station is
being received.
• If you experience problems during

Cleaning the Unit
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit frequency data for the same station.
When you are making long trips, this function
automatically alternative 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
programme, that has better reception. These
include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.
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.
Enhanced Other Network
Reset button
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.
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
About Cassette tape
• 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 tape head
When there’s noise or the sound quality is bad
during tape play the tape head maybe dirty,
clean the tape head.
About Cassette tape
• If the tape is slack tighten it.
• If the cassette tape label is peeling off glue it
on again.

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.

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.

The use of any accessories except for those provided might result in
damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories shipped with
the unit, as shown above.
Installation Procedure
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the - battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
3. Cars with an ISO connector:
Connect the speaker connector of the car to Connector B of the
unit, and then connect the external power connector to
Connector A.
Cars without an ISO connector:
First connect the wire of the wiring harness, and then connect
the wiring harness connector to the unit.
4. Install the unit in your car.
5. Reconnect the - battery.
6. Press the reset button.
