IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
2WARNING  
2CAUTION  
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.  
• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-  
C601 / KDC-C401  
Use the extension cable attached to the CD  
changer, and the optional CA-DS100

LASER PRODUCT  
The label is attached to the chassis/case and  
says that the component uses laser beams  
that have been classified as Class 1. It means  
that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are  
of a weaker class. There is no danger of  
hazardous radiation outside the unit.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided. If you use the wrong  
screws, you could damage the unit.

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.  
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to  
direct sunlight (such as on a dashboard) or in  
other places that attain high temperatures.  
The MD cartridge will become misshapen  
and will no longer be usable.

the display may represent something  
impossible in actual operation.  
• The functions that can be used and the  
information that can be displayed will differ  
depending on the external disc players being  
connected.  
• MDs designed for use with data cannot be  
used. Please use MDs designed for music.  
• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead  
to breakdown.

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.

• 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.  
• Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the  
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent a short  
circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the  
unconnected wires or the terminals.  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material.

2WARNING  
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.  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
