To prevent injury or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any  
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools)  
inside the unit.  
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.  
• Do not place the faceplate in areas exposed to  
direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also  
avoid places with too much dust or the possibility  
of water splashing.  
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the  
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your  
fingers.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock,  
as it is a piece of precision equipment.  
• 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 3-in. CDs in the CD slot

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  
condesnation 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

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source  
with constant voltage such as a battery wire, 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 wire  
to a power source that can be turned on and off with the  
ignition key.

..........1  
If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not  
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one  
with the same rating.  
2
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do not  
remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires  
or the terminals.  
..........2  
3
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or  
fail to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them  
to any metal part in the car.  
..........1  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
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.  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of  
the battery.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the wire 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.  
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.  
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.  
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-  
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when  
the antenna cord has an ISO plug.  
Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by  
inserting jacks until they lock completely.

The pin arrangement for the ISO connectors depends  
on the type of vehicle you drive. Make sure to make the  
proper connections to prevent damage to the unit.  
The default connection for the wiring harness is described  
in 1 below. If the ISO connector pins are set as described  
in 2 or 3, make the connection as illustrated.

Troubleshooting Guide  
What might seem to be a malfunction in your unit  
may just be the result of slight misoperation or  
miswiring. Before calling service, first check the  
following table for possible problems.  
? The sound quality is poor or distorted.  
One of the speaker wires is being pinched by a  
screw in the car.  
Check the speaker wiring.  
The speakers are not wired correctly.  
Reconnect the speaker wires so that each  
output terminal is connected to a different  
speaker.  
General  
? The power does not turn ON.  
? Even though Synchronize Clock is ON, the clock  
can’t be adjusted.  
The fuse has blown.  
After checking for short circuits in the wires,  
replace the fuse with one with the same  
rating.  
The received RDS station isn’t sending time data.  
Receive another RDS station.  
? There’s a source you can’t switch.  
There’s no media inserted.  
Tuner source  
Set the media you want to listen to. If there’s  
no media in this unit, you can’t switch to each  
source.  
? Radio reception is poor.  
The car antenna is not extended.  
Pull the antenna out all the way.  
The antenna control wire is not connected.  
? The memory is erased when the ignition is  
turned OFF.  
Connect the wire correctly, referring to the  
section on <Connecting Wires to Terminals>.  
The ignition and battery wire are incorrectly  
connected.  
? It isn’t the set Traffic information sound volume.  
Connect the wire correctly, referring to the  
section on <Connecting Wires to Terminals>.  
The set sound volume is less than the tuner sound  
volume.  
If the tuner sound volume is louder than the  
set sound volume,the tuner sound volume is  
used.  
? The TEL mute function does not work.  
The TEL mute wire is not connected properly.  
Connect the wire correctly, referring to the  
section on <Connecting Wires to Terminals>.  
? The TEL mute function turns ON even though the  
TEL mute wire is not connected.  
The TEL mute wire is touching a metal part of the  
car.  
Pull the TEL mute wire away from the metal  
part of the car.  
? Even if Loudness is turned ON, high-pitched tone  
isn’t compensated for.  
Tuner source is selected.  
High-pitched tone isn’t compensated for when  
in Tuner source.  
? No sound can be heard, or the volume is low.  
The fader or balance settings are set all the way to  
one side.  
Center the fader and balance settings.  
The input/output wires or wiring harness are  
connected incorrectly.  
Reconnect the input/output wires or the  
wiring harness correctly. See the section on  
<Connecting Wires to Terminals>.  
The values of Volume offset are low.  
Turn up the Volume offset, referring to the  
section on <Audio Setup> (page 8).
