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.  
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 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.  
• 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 short circuits when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the  
faceplate and the unit.  
• When extending the ignition, battery or  
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-  
grade wires or other wires with an area of  
2
0.75mm (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.  
• 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.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD  
changer if you connect them incorrectly.  
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.  
• 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.

About RDS  
About CDs  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
Handling CDs  
• Don’t touch the recording surface of the CD.  
CD cleaning  
Clean from the center of the disc and move  
outward.  
When listening to an RDS station, the  
programme service name of the station is  
displayed, advising you quickly which station  
is being received.  
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 programme, that has better  
reception. These include stations stored in the  
station preset memory that you often listen  
to.  
Removing CDs  
When removing CDs from this unit pull them  
out horizontally.  
CDs that can’t be used  
• CDs that aren’t round can’t be used.  
• CD-R and CD-RW are easier to damage than  
a normal music CD. Use a CD-R or a CD-RW

package etc.  
• Don’t stick tape etc. on the CD.  
Also, don’t use a CD with tape stuck on it.  
When using a new CD  
If the CD center hole or outside rim has burrs,  
use it after removing them with a ball pen etc.  
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.  
• CDs with coloring on the recording surface  
or that are dirty can’t be used.  
• This unit can only play the CDs with  
.
Burrs  
It may not correctly play discs which do not  
have the mark.  
• A CD-R or CD-RW that hasn’t been finalized  
can’t be played. (For the finalization process  
refer to your CD-R/CD-RW writing software,  
and your CD-R/CD-RW recorder instruction  
manual.)  
Burrs

(announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current  
functions are interrupted to allow the warning

• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by  
inserting jacks until they lock completely.  
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the  
ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant  
voltage such as a battery wire, 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 wire to a power source that can be turned  
on and off with the ignition key.  
..........................................2  
..........................................1  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused  
a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same  
rating.  
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.  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material. To prevent short circuits, also 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 receive damage or fail to work if  
you share the - wires 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.  
• 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 wire connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the wire 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.  
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
7. Install the unit in your car.  
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.  
9. Press the reset button.
