Safety precautions

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.

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.

• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400

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

• 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.

Use the extension cable attached to the CD

changer, and the optional CA-DS100

converter cord.

• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /

non-Kenwood CD changers

• 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.

• 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.

Cannot be used with this model.

• 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.

• 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.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

Safety precautions

Cleaning the Unit

Cleaning the Tape Head

NOTE

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the

power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon

cloth or soft cloth.

After you have listened to many cassettes

over a long period of time, magnetic powder

from the tapes and dust accumulates on the

tape head, causing noise and a deterioration

in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a

cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use

in car audio systems.

• 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.

2CAUTION

Do not wipe the panel with a hard 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.

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,

clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can

get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD

slot.

• If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Handling Cassette Tapes

• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone

slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a

pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing

slack cassette tapes can result in the tape

tangling around the capstan and/or pinch

rollers, causing trouble.

PROGRAM

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on

dashboards and other spots exposed to

direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They

can deform the cassette.

• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,

such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes

are very thin, and can tangle easily around

the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,

causing unit failure.

• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when

not listening to it for a while. If you leave a

tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the

tape head and cause unit malfunction.

Lens Fogging

Reset button

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.

• 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.

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 following

precautions to prevent your CDs from

getting scratched or damaged.

Storing CDs

• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct

sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard)

or other hot places.

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.

A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a

music CD to damage from high temperatures

and humidity, and in some cases, may

become unusable if left in the car for long

periods of time.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening

to them for a while, and put them back in their

cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed

from their cases or prop them against

something.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the

side opposite the label) when holding it.

Burrs

Cleaning CDs

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.

• 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.

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.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Tape

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 Use CDs with Sticker on the

Labeled Side

Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck

on it.

Using such a CD may cause the CD to be

deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting

in malfunction of the unit.

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do not use commercially available CD

accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot,

such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD

cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to

malfunction.

• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark

only for this unit.
