About CD players/disc changers connected  
to this unit  
2WARNING  
To prevent injury or fire, take the following  
precautions:  
Kenwood disc changers/ CD players released in 1998  
or later can be connected to this unit.  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any  
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside  
the unit.  
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood dealer  
for connectable models of disc changers/ CD players.  
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.  
Connecting unsupported disc changers/CD players to  
this unit may result in damage.  
Set the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for the  
applicable Kenwood disc changers/ CD players.  
The functions you can use and the information that  
can be displayed may differ depending on the models  
being connected.  
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s display  
when you are driving for any extended period.  
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and  
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting  
and wiring work to professionals.  
2CAUTION  
To prevent damage to the machine, take  
the following precautions:  
¤
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC  
power supply.  
•
You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you  
connect them incorrectly.  
• 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 place the faceplate (and 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.  
Lens Fogging  
When 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, this  
condensation on the lens may not allow CDs 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.  
• 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 fuse 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.  
The marking of products using lasers  
(Except for some areas)  
CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
• Use only the screws provided or specified for  
installation. If you use wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.  
The label is attached to the chassis/case and says  
that the component uses laser beams that have  
been classified as Class 1. This means that the unit is  
utilizing laser beams that are of a weaker class. There  
is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit.  
Attach the panel while you are on the  
vehicle  
The panel lock arm appears when the panel is  
removed. Therefore, the panel must be attached while  
the electrical system of the car is operating.  
iPod is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.,  
registered in the U.S. and other countries.  
Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD slot  
If you try to load a 8 cm (3 in.) CD with its adapter into  
the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and  
damage the unit.  
The "AAC" logo is trademark of Dolby

If the power is not turned ON ("Protect" is displayed), the  
speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the  
chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may  
have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be  
checked.

..........1  
•
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.  
2
..........2  
•
•
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.  
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.
