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".  
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 0.75mm  
(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.  
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.  
2
• 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.  
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.  
If the following situations, consult  
your nearest service center:  
• Even though the disc changer is connected, the  
Disc Changer source is not ON, with "AUX"  
showing in the display during the Changer Mode.  
• Even though no device (KCA-S210A, CA-C1AX,  
KDC-CPS87, KDC-CX87, KDC-CPS85, KDC-CX85,  
KDC-CPS82 or KDC-CX82) is connected, the  
Auxiliary input is entered when switching modes.  
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.

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.

Do not use any accessories other than those provided with your unit. If  
you use other accessories, you may damage the unit.  
• 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  
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.  
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.
