Safety precautions  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
About the disc changer/CD player to  
be connected:  
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"  
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N".  
Precautions when connecting disc  
changers/CD players released in 1997 or  
earlier.  
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.  
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.  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
To prevent injury or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully  
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of  
place when jolted.  
• When extending the ignition, battery, or  
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-  
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm  
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire  
deterioration and damage to the wire  
coating.  
To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave  
any metallic objects (such as 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.  
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.  
• 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 a short circuit when replacing a  
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not place any object between the  
faceplate and the unit.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided. If you use the wrong  
screws, you could damage the unit.

C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers  
can be connected.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD  
changer if you connect them incorrectly.  
• 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 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.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the moving  
faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or  
malfunction.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the open  
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will  
cause damage or breakdown.

About RDS  
Lens Fogging  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
NOTE  
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.  
RDS is a service used by radio stations to  
transmit data outside normal radio broadcast  
signals.  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
When an RDS station is received, you can  
immediately find out what kind of data is being  
transmitted by looking at the program service  
name, which appears in the display after the  
frequency.  
The RDS indicator turns on when an RDS  
station is being received.  
• 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 disc auto  
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal  
operation should be restored.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing  
disasters, etc.) is made, the current function  
will be interrupted to allow the warning to be  
received under the following conditions:  
during tuner reception, or when the Traffic  
Information function is turned on.  
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.  
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.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note,  
however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats  
acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to  
the following restrictions.  
Entering ID3 tag and Contents  
Description  
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version  
1.x.  
For the character code, refer to the List  
of Codes.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM,  
CD-R, and CD-RW.  
Please use the full format when using CD-RW. If you use the quick  
format, media may not be played.  
Acceptable medium formats  
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)  
• Romeo (128 characters)  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only file  
names and folder names that can be  
entered and displayed.  
If you use any other character for 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/WMA which have the  
MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not  
play correctly.  
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: 100  
Writing files into a medium  
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks  
all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or  
non-MP3/WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts  
playing MP3/WMA.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next  
MP3/WMA file or a Track Search or Album Search may not be  
performed smoothly.  
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be  
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not  
properly displayed.  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file  
with the MP3/WMA extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data as long as  
they have the MP3/WMA extension.  
Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD writer  
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in WMA data  
with the WMA encoder.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.  
Transfer bit rate: 48k —192 kbps  
• Sampling frequency: 32k, 44.1k 48k Hz  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA 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.

2CAUTION  
• 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.  
• 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  
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.  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and  
disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground,  
battery, ignition.  
• 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.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.
