Cleaning the Unit  
2CAUTION  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
To prevent damage to the machine,  
take the following precautions:  
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative  
12V DC power supply.  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
Setting of the O-N switch will be required  
depending on the centre unit that is to be  
connected.  
The operations you perform and the  
resultant operation of the unit will differ  
depending on the setting of the O-N  
switch. Please see the appropriate  
description of operations for the "O" or  
"N" switch setting.  
Lens Fogging  
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold  
weather, dew or condensation may form on  
the lens in the MD player of the unit. Called  
lens fogging, MDs 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.

Safety precautions  
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a  
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be  
placed in an MD case for storage.  
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to  
direct sunlight (such as on a instrument  
panel) or in other places that reach high  
temperatures. The MD cartridge will become  
misshapen and will no longer be usable.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
This unit is NOT designed to be connected  
directly to control units that are manufactured  
and sold before 1994. If used with such  
units, an optional CA-SD200 (sold separately)  
must be used.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN  
DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND CONTROL  
UNIT.  
Egnlish  
• MDs designed for use with data cannot be  
used. Please use MDs designed for music.  
• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead  
to breakdown.  
Handling Mini discs  
• The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot  
be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will  
be damaged and use of the MD will no  
longer be possible. If the shutter has been  
opened due to some cause, be careful not to  
touch the recording portion with a finger.  
Doing so will cause the sound to skip.  
• Do not use an MD that has a peeling label.  
Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling  
label may cause problems, such as the label  
coming off inside the player and the resultant  
inability to eject the MD.  
• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge  
surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an  
oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in  
the disc not loading or being unable to eject  
it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to open  
the shutter.)
