Safety precautions

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, Magazine random play, and CD

Text display.

2CAUTION

NOTE

• If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

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.

Egnlish

• If the unit fails to operate properly, press

the Reset button. The unit returns to factory

settings when the Reset button is pressed.

If the unit still fails to operate properly after

the Reset button has been pressed,

contact your local KENWOOD dealer for

assistance.

• Press the reset button if the CD auto

changer is first controlled and operates

incorrectly. The original operating condition

will return.

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.

Reset button

2CAUTION

• 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.

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

• We strongly recommend the use of the

Code Security function (page 54) to prevent

theft.

other hot places.

• Remove discs from the unit when not

listening to them for a whilst, and put

them back in their cases. Do not stack

discs that have been removed from their

cases or prop them against something.

When playing a new disc for the first time,

check that there are not any burrs stuck to

the perimeter of the disc or in the central

hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may

not load properly or may skip whilst playing.

Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a

similar utensil.

2CAUTION

• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system,

consult your KENWOOD dealer.

• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the

antenna cord has an ISO plug.

• Make sure that all cable connections are securely made by

inserting jacks until they lock completely.

.........1

• 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

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.
