2WARNING

2CAUTION

You cannot connect the unit directly to the

following CD automatic changers. For users

who want to use older changers with the

unit, follow the directions below according to

the type of changer you own:

To prevent injury and/or fire, take the

following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully

locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of

place during collisions and other jolts.

To prevent damage to the machine,

take the following precautions:

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative

12V DC power supply.

• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400

• 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.

• To prevent short circuits when replacing a

fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

• Do not place any object between the

faceplate and the unit.

• During installation, do not use any screws

except for the ones provided. The use of

improper screws might result in damage to

the main unit.

Use the extension cable and the control box

attached to the CD changer, and the optional

CA-DS100 converter cable.

• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-

C601 / KDC-C401

Use the extension cable attached to the CD

changer, and the optional CA-DS100

converter cable.

• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /

non-Kenwood CD changers

• When extending the ignition, battery or

ground cables, make sure to use automotive-

grade cables or other cables with an area of

0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent cable

deterioration and damage to the cable

coating.

any metallic objects (e.g., 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.

• 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.

Cannot be used with this model.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

Safety precautions

Mask key

Cleaning the Tape Head

NOTE

If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal

once to the unit in advance, you will have to

transmit it once again if the unit has been

removed from the battery. This function

helps prevent theft.

When using the unit for the first time:

In order to deactivate the demonstration

mode, be sure to press the transmit button

to transmit the Mask Key's signal.

If this procedure is not carried out, the

control panel of the unit will re-open in two

seconds even with your vehicle's ignition

turned off.

After you have used the tape player many

times over a long period, magnetic powder

from the tapes and dust accumulates on the

tape head, causing noise and a deterioration

in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a

cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use

in car audio systems.

• If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Egnlish

• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the

RESET button. When the faceplate is not

visible, slide the manual open switch (as

illustrated on p.6) for as many times as you

have preset to make the faceplate control

appear. 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.

Handling Cassette Tapes

• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone

slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a

pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing

slack cassette tapes can result in the tape

tangling around the capstan and/or pinch

rollers, causing trouble.

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one

whose label is starting to come off, as it can

cause the unit to malfunction.

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as

above the fascia panel (dashboard) and other

spots exposed to direct sunlight, or near

heater outlets. They can deform the cassette.

• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,

such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes

are very thin, and can tangle easily around

the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,

causing unit failure.

• Press the reset button if the CD auto changer

is first controlled and operates incorrectly.

The original operating condition will return.

2CAUTION

Do not loose the "Mask Key".

If power is disconnected from the unit,

correct operation can only be restored by the

"Mask Key's" signal.

The "Mask Key" will also be required for

service repair.

Basic operations

• Whilst the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not

have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control

panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may

damage the unit.

• During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left

closed whilst ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open

no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off, unless

“Manual Open Switch” at the rear of the faceplate is pressed in

order to open it. You can prevent tampering of the unit when

letting someone else drive your car by keeping it closed this

way.

"Mask Key's" signal to deactivate the demonstration mode.

If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of the unit

will re-open in two seconds even with your vehicle's ignition

turned off.

• When the control panel of the faceplate is hidden, the unit will

be locked by the sleeve, making it more difficult to remove the

unit.

NOTE

When you set the Manual Open Switch setting to 2 or 3, slide the

manual open switch successively. If you do not slide the switch

successively, this cannot be verified correctly.

• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and

return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the

action.

2CAUTION

Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles

• Make sure the console is uncovered whilst the faceplate is

reversed.

RDS (Radio Data System)

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive signals

besides those of regular radio programmes, such as network

information being transmitted from radio stations.

When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS

capability), the programme service name of the station is

displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which

station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data

for the same station. When you are making long trips, this

function automatically 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.

When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to

another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the

same RDS network with better reception.

The ™ indicator lights up when the AF function is turned

on.

Turning AF Function On/Off:
