Safety precautions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2WARNING
2CAUTION
You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. For users
who want to use older changers with the
unit, follow the directions below according to
the type of changer you own:
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.
• 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 short circuits 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 cable.
• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-
C601 / KDC-C401
Use the extension cable attached to the CD
changer, and the optional CA-DS100
converter cable.
• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /
non-Kenwood CD changers
• When extending the ignition, battery or
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-
grade cables or other cables with an area of
2
0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent cable
deterioration and damage to the cable
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.
Cannot be used with this model.
2CAUTION
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
• 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.

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
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.)

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
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.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Unit
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be
placed in an MD case for storage.
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or soft cloth.
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to
direct sunlight (such as on a instrument
panel) or in other places that reach high
temperatures. The MD cartridge will become
misshapen and will no longer be usable.
• MDs designed for use with data cannot be
used. Please use MDs designed for music.
2CAUTION
Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch
the surface of the panel and/or cause the
indicator letters to peel off.

• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if
the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant
voltage such as a battery cable, 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 cable to a power source that can be turned
on and off with the ignition key.
2CAUTION
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with
the same rating.
• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short
circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the
unconnected cables or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if
you share the - cables 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.
• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar
material.
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 short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the -terminal of the battery.
2. Make the proper input and output cable connections for each unit.
3. Connect the cable 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.
• Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection.
See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.
• 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.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.

The sound skips.
The mounting angle exceeds 30°.
The mounting is unstable.
