Safety precautions  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
About the disc changer/CD player to  
be connected:  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
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.  
• When extending the ignition, battery, or  
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-  
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2  
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire  
deterioration and damage to the wire  
coating.  
To prevent short circuits, never put or leave  
any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal  
tools) inside the unit.  
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.  
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"  
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N".  
To connect a disc changer having no "O-N"  
switch to this unit, the converter cord CA-  
DS100 and/or switching adapter KCA-S210A  
are required as options.  
A disc changer doesn't work when it is  
connected without using these options.  
If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected,  
some unavailable functions and information  
that cannot be displayed are generated.  
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,  
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers  
can be connected.  
• 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.  
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange  
smells, turn off the power immediately and  
consult your Kenwood dealer.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD  
changer if you connect them incorrectly.  
• 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.  
To prevent short circuits when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the  
faceplate and the unit.  
• During installation, do not use any screws  
except for the ones provided. The use of  
improper screws might result in damage to  
the main unit.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the open  
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will  
cause damage or breakdown.  
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.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD  
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off  
with soap immediately.

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 Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
NOTE  
• 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.  
After you press the reset button, the Mask  
Key will be needed to restart the unit. If the  
unit still fails to operate properly after the  
Reset button has been pressed, contact your  
local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.  
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.  
Lens Fogging  
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.  
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.  
• Press the reset button if the Disc auto  
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal  
operation should be restored.

About RDS  
The marking of products using lasers  
(Except for some areas)  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
When listening to an RDS station, the program  
service name of the station is displayed,  
advising you quickly which station is being  
received.  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also  
transmit alternative 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.  
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.  
Enhanced Other Network  
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.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing  
disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are  
interrupted to allow the warning to be  
received.

Notes on playing MP3  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,  
however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable  
are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following  
restrictions.  
Entering ID3 tag  
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version  
1.x.  
For the character code, refer to the  
List of Codes.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only  
file names and folder names that can  
be entered and displayed.  
and CD-RW.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent  
malfunction.  
If you use any other character for  
Acceptable medium formats  
entry, the file and folder names are not  
displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending  
on the CD writer used.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3  
extension (.MP3).  
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The  
maximum number of characters used for file name including the  
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in  
parentheses.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)  
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)  
• Joliet (64 characters)  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not  
play correctly.  
• Romeo (128 characters)  
Writing files into a medium  
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.  
For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the  
writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below.  
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64  
• Maximum number of folders: 50  
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the  
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-  
MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing  
MP3.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file  
or a Track Search or Album Search may not be performed smoothly.  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with  
the MP3 extension.  
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be  
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not  
properly displayed.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they  
have the MP3 extension.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.  
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc  
capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up  
to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
