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, DNPP,

Magazine random play, and CD Text display.

Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,

C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers

can be connected.

2WARNING

2CAUTION

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.

• When extending the ignition, battery, or

ground wires, make sure to use automotive-

grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm

(AWG18) or more to prevent wire

deterioration and damage to the wire

coating.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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 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.

• Do not apply excessive force to the moving

faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or

malfunction.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

The marking of products using lasers

(Except for some areas)

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

• Do not apply excessive force to the open

faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will

cause damage or breakdown.

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.

Safety precautions

• 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.

Cleaning the CD Slot

NOTE

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.

• Press the reset button if the disc auto

changer is first controlled and operates

incorrectly. The original operating condition

will return.

• The functions that can be used and the

information that can be displayed will differ

depending on the external disc players being

connected.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

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.

• We strongry recommend the use of the

Security Code function (see p. 28) to prevent

theft.

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult

to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

Cleaning 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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD

(the side opposite the label) when holding it.

• 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.

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.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Tape

Handling Compact discs

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do Not Use Special Shape CDs

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 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 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.

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.

• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark

only for this unit.

•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.

RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive

signals besides those of regular radio programs, such as

network information being transmitted from radio stations.

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

capability), the program 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 program, that has better reception.

These include stations stored in the station preset memory

that you often listen to.

NOTE

Pressing the TI button while in the MW/LW band automatically

switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band

is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.

Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:

stations in a certain band.

NOTE

Enhanced Other Network

• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to

another TI station.

• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception

starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks stations with

better reception.

• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information

station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>

services, you can still have traffic information received.

• Pressing the TI button for at least one second when the TI

function is on in the tape or disc mode results in a change to

the frequency display of the traffic information station for five

seconds.

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit

information about other RDS stations that have traffic

information. When you are tuned to a station that is not

transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts

transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches

to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.
