Safety precautions

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.

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.

Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,

C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers

can be connected.

• 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 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.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

• 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.

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.

• The functions that can be used and the

Handling Discs

Playing a Disc 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 Discs

from getting scratched or damaged.

• Do not store discs in areas exposed to

direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the

dashboard) or other hot places.

• Remove discs from the unit when not

listening to them for a while, and put them

back in their cases. Do not stack discs that

have been removed from their cases or

prop them against something.

Checking New Discs for Burrs

When playing a new disc for the first time,

check that there are not any burrs stuck to

the perimeter of the disc or in the central

hole. discs 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 Discs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the Disc

(the side opposite the label) when holding

it.

Cleaning Discs

Burrs

If a disc has become 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 discs with conventional record

cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals

such as paint thinner or benzene.

stuck on it.

Using such a disc may cause the disc 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 disc

slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets,

or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause

the unit to malfunction.
