or later can be connected to this unit.  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any  
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside  
the unit.  
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood dealer  
for connectable models of disc changers/ CD players.  
Note that any Kenwood disc changers/ CD players  
released in 1997 or earlier and disc changers made by  
other makers cannot be connected to this unit.  
Connecting unsupported disc changers/CD players to  
this unit may result in damage.  
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and  
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting  
and wiring work to professionals.

being connected.  
2CAUTION  
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 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.

Lens Fogging  
When 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, this  
condensation on the lens may not allow CDs 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.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with  
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong  
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.  
Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD slot  
If you try to load a 8 cm (3 in.) CD with its adapter into  
the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
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.  
1
..........1  
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.  
2
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.  
..........2  
2WARNING  
3
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.  
..........4  
¤
4
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF  
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit  
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
..........4  
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.  
5
..........1  
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.  
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.
