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.  
If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected,  
some unavailable functions and information  
that cannot be displayed are generated, such  
as the DNPS, Magazine random play, and CD  
Text display.  
2CAUTION  
NOTE  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, 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.  
Egnlish  
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press  
the Reset button. 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.  
• Press the reset button if the CD auto  
changer is first controlled and operates  
incorrectly. The original operating condition  
will return.  
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,  
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers  
can be connected.  
• 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.  
Reset button  
2CAUTION  
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.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the open  
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so  
will cause damage or breakdown.  
You can damage both your unit and  
the CD changer if you connect them  
incorrectly.  
• We strongly recommend the use of the  
Code Security function (page 54) to prevent  
theft.  
Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the  
CD slot  
If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter  
into the unit, the adapter might separate  
from the CD and damage the unit.

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.  
The label is attached to the chassis/case and  
says that the component uses laser beams  
that have been classified as Class 1. It means  
that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are  
of a weaker class. There is no danger of  
hazardous radiation outside the unit.  
2CAUTION  
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.  
• There is no image on the monitor at times  
other than DVD mode.  
Lens Fogging  
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold  
weather, dew or condensation may form on  
the lens in the disc player of the unit. Called  
lens fogging, discs may be impossible 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  
whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.

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.  
Storing Discs  
Checking New Discs for Burrs  
• Do not store discs in areas exposed to  
direct sunlight – such as a car seat or  
above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or  
other hot places.  
• Remove discs from the unit when not  
listening to them for a whilst, and put  
them back in their cases. Do not stack  
discs that have been removed from their  
cases or prop them against something.  
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 whilst playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
Egnlish  
Handling Discs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the Disc  
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when  
holding it.  
Burrs  
Cleaning Discs  
If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently  
using a commercially available cleaning cloth  
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the  
centre of the disc and moving outward. Do

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.  
• Be sure to use round shape Discs only for  
this unit and do not use any special shape  
Discs. Use of special shape Discs may

• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if  
the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant  
voltage such as a battery cable, the power will not be linked  
with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the  
ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition,  
connect the ignition cable to a power source that can be turned  
on and off with the ignition key.

2CAUTION  
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.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not  
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with  
the same rating.  
• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the  
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short  
circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the  
unconnected cables or the terminals.  
• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which  
they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if  
you share the - cables and/or ground them to any metal part  
in the car.  
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar  
material.  
• Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection.  
See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.  
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the  
faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.  
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and  
disconnect the -terminal of the battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output cable connections for each  
unit.  
3. Connect the cable on the wiring harness.  
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it to the  
speaker connector in your vehicle.  
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it to the  
external power connector on your vehicle.
