You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. If you
want to use older changers with the unit,
follow the directions below according to the
type of changer you own:
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.
• 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.
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.
• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400
• 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 a short circuit when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
• Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
Use the extension cable and the control box
attached to the CD changer, and the optional
CA-DS100 converter cord.

Safety precautions
Handling Mini discs
Lens Fogging
NOTE
• 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.
In cold climates, there may be a period after
you turn on your vehicle's heater when the
lens that guides the laser beam used in your
CD/MD player fogs up. If this happens, you
cannot play mini discs. Take out discs and
the fogging will disappear. If it does not
return to normal after several hours, contact
your Kenwood dealer.
• If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• If the unit does not seem to be working
right, try pressing the reset button first. If
that does not solve the problem, consult
your Kenwood dealer.

• 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.)
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be
placed in an MD case for storage.

Handling Compact discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or
warped can cause the sound to skip and
the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in
worsened sound quality. Take the
back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that
are removed from their cases or prop them
against something.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may
damage the surface of the CD if you try
pulling it down as it ejects.
Cleaning CDs
following precautions to prevent your CDs
from getting scratched or damaged.
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
center of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(the side opposite the label) when holding it.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for
this unit and do not use any special shape
CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause
the unit to malfunction.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Tape
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip while playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is
more fragile than that on an ordinary music
CD, and may peel off if scratched.
Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also
more likely to cause skipping when the disc
is played. For these reasons, handle the disc
very carefully.
Detailed handling instructions will appear on
the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this
information carefully before using the disc.
Storing CDs
• Do not use any CD which does not bear one
of the following marks:
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not
undergone finalization processing cannot be
played. (For more information on finalization
processing, refer to the manual for your CD-
R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW
recorder.) Additionally, depending on the
recording status, it may prove impossible to
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-
RW.
