IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
You cannot connect the unit directly to the  
following CD automatic changers. If you want  
to use older changers with the unit, follow  
the directions below according to the type of  
changer you own:  
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.  
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.  
• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400  
Use the extension cable and the control box  
attached to the CD changer, and the optional  
CA-DS100 converter cord.  
• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-  
C601 / KDC-C401  
• When extending the ignition, battery, or  
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-  
2
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm  
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire  
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.  
Use the extension cable attached to the CD  
changer, and the optional CA-DS100  
converter cord.  
• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /  
non-Kenwood CD changers  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave  
any metallic objects (such as 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.  
• 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.  
Cannot be used with this model.  
• 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.

Safety precautions  
Cleaning the Unit  
Cleaning the Tape Head  
NOTE  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
After you have listened to many cassettes  
over a long period of time, 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.  
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not  
undergone finalization processing cannot be  
played. (For more information on finalization  
processing, refer to the manual for your CD-  
R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW  
recorder.) Additionally, depending on the  
recording status, it may prove impossible to  
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-  
RW.  
2CAUTION  
Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a  
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as  
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch  
the surface of the panel and/or cause the  
indicator letters to peel off.  
Cleaning the CD Slot  
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,  
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can  
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD  
slot.  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
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.

PROGRAM  
• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on  
dashboards 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.  
• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when  
not listening to it for a while. If you leave a  
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the  
tape head and cause unit malfunction.  
Lens Fogging  
Reset button  
Right after 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, CDs 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 while,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit does not seem to be working right,  
try pressing the reset button first. If that does  
not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood  
dealer.  
— 4 —  
Handling Compact discs  
Playing a CD 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 CDs from  
getting scratched or damaged.  
Storing CDs  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct  
sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard)  
or other hot places.  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
When playing a new CD for the first time, check  
that there are not any burrs stuck to the  
perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs  
with burrs stuck on them may not load properly  
or may skip while playing. Remove burrs using  
a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.  
A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a  
music CD to damage from high temperatures  
and humidity, and in some cases, may  
become unusable if left in the car for long  
periods of time.  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening  
to them for a while, and put them back in their  
cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed  
from their cases or prop them against  
something.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the  
side opposite the label) when holding it.  
Burrs  
Burrs  
Cleaning CDs  
If a CD has gotten 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 CDs with  
conventional record cleaners, anti-static  
formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or  
benzene.  
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is  
more fragile than that on an ordinary music CD,  
and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a  
CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely to cause  
skipping when the disc is played. For these  
reasons, handle the disc very carefully. Detailed  
handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or  
CD-RW package: read this information carefully  
before using the disc.  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may  
damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling  
it down as it ejects.  
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.  
Tape  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this  
unit and do not use any special shape CDs.  
Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit  
to malfunction.  
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labeled Side  
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck  
on it.  
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be  
deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting  
in malfunction of the unit.  
Do Not Load CD Accessories  
Do not use commercially available CD  
accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot,  
such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD  
cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark  
only for this unit.

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.  
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.  
Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the  
car or anything else conducting electricity. 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.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material.  
Some disc changers need conversion cords for connection. See  
the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.
