Safety precautions  
About CD players/disc changers  
connected to this unit  
KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players released in  
1998 or later can be connected to this unit.  
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood  
dealer for connectable models of disc changers/  
CD players.  
2WARNING  
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.  
Note that any KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players  
released in 1997 or earlier and disc changers made  
by other makers cannot be connected to this unit.  
Unsupported connection may result in damage.  
Setting the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for the  
applicable KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players.  
The functions that can be used and the information  
that can be displayed will differ depending on the  
models being connected.  
• Never watch the G-Analyzer Display screen when  
you are driving. Otherwise, a car accident may  
result.  
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 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.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if  
you connect them incorrectly.  
LX-bus connection  
The LX AMP and the sensor unit cannot be  
connected simultaneously.  
You must connect any of them at a time.  
• 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.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the open  
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will  
cause damage or breakdown.  
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 while, consult your  
Kenwood dealer.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.  
Attach the panel while you are on the  
vehicle  
The panel lock arm will be appeared when the  
panel is removed. Therefore, the panel must be  
attached during the driving.  
Do Not Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot  
If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter into the  
unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and  
damage the unit.  
NOTE  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with  
Canadian ICES-003.

• If you experience problems during installation,  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit fails to operate properly, press the Reset  
button. The unit returns to factory settings when  
the Reset button is pressed.

About ODD (Offset Dual Differential) D/A  
System (KDC-X889/KDC-MP828)  
The high quality sound play is to be done by ODD  
D/A System. Dual D/A converters are built-in the  
ODD D/A System, and the digital processing is  
isolated and controlled separately for front channel  
so the channel separation is improved sharply.  
Also, it produces the data in which the sound data  
is offset on the minus side and converts the two  
signals (original and offset data) to the analog  
signal, which has less noise and distortion, by the  
synthetic process.  
Reset button  
However, ODD D/A System has no effect during the  
following conditions.  
- When "2 ZONE" of <Audio Setup> (page 13) is  
"ON".  
- When <Bypass Control> (page 17) is "Bypass".  
Reset button  
• We recommend the use of <Security Code>  
(page 42) to prevent theft.  
• The characters which can be displayed by ISO  
8859-1.  
• 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 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.  
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.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty,  
wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
1
..........1  
..........2  
..........4  
..........4  
..........1  
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’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.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. 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.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.

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.  
? 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.  
General  
The fader or balance settings are set all the way to  
one side.  
? The power does not turn ON.  
Center the fader and balance settings.  
The fuse has blown.  
The input/output wires or wiring harness are  
connected incorrectly.  
After checking for short circuits in the wires,  
replace the fuse with one with the same  
rating.  
Reconnect the input/output wires or the  
wiring harness correctly. See the section on  
<Connecting Wires to Terminals>.  
The speaker wire has a short-circuit or touches  
the chassis of the vehicle, and then the protection  
function is activated.
