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 set the removed faceplate or the  
faceplate case 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 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.  
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.

• When extending the ignition, battery or  
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-  
grade cables or other cables with an area of  
2
0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent cable  
deterioration and damage to the cable  
coating.  
• To prevent short circuits, never put or leave  
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.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD  
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off  
with soap immediately.

Lens Fogging  
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 whilst,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult  
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).  
The marking of products using lasers  
(Except for some areas)  
• The illustrations of the display and the panel  
appearing in this manual are examples used  
to explain more clearly how the controls are  
used. Therefore, what appears on the display  
in the illustrations may differ from what  
appears on the display on the actual  
equipment, and some of the illustrations on  
the display may represent something  
impossible in actual operation.  
• The functions that can be used and the  
information that can be displayed will differ  
depending on the external disc players being  
connected.  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
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  
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.

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.  
Cleaning CDs  
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot  
If a CD 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  
not clean CDs with conventional record  
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals  
such as paint thinner or benzene.  
Do not use commercially available CD  
accessories that can be loaded into the CD  
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or  
CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction. You may damage the  
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as  
it ejects.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD  
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when  
holding it.  
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 whilst playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
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 stick tape on either side of the CD.

Burrs  
Storing CDs  
COMPACT  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct  
sunlight – such as a car seat or above the  
fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot  
places.  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not  
listening to them for a whilst, and put them  
back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that  
have been removed from their cases or prop  
them against something.  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark  
Burrs  
only for this unit.  
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labelled 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.

• 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  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
• 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.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.
