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.

• When extending the ignition, battery or

ground cables, make sure to use automotive-

grade cables or other cables with an area of

0.75mm²(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.

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 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.

• 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 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

Cannot be used with this model.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

• 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 short circuits when replacing a

fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

Safety precautions

Cleaning the Unit

Cleaning the Tape Head

NOTE

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.

After you have used the tape player many

times over a long period, 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.

• 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.

2CAUTION

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.

Handling Cassette Tapes

SRC

• 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.

AUD

Reset button

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one

whose label is starting to come off, as it can

cause the unit to malfunction.

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as

above the fascia panel (dashboard) 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 whilst. If you leave a

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

tape head and cause unit malfunction.

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult

to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

• The illustrations of the display and the panel

appearing in this manual are examples used

to explain more clearly how the controls are

used. Therefore, what appears on the display

in the illustrations may differ from what

appears on the display on the actual

equipment, and some of the illustrations on

the display may represent something

impossible in actual operation.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

RDS (Radio Data System)

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive signals

besides those of regular radio programmes, such as network

information being transmitted from radio stations.

When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS

capability), the programme service name of the station is

displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which

station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data

for the same station. When you are making long trips, this

function automatically switches to the particular frequency with

the best reception for the particular network of stations that

you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,

allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,

broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.

These include stations stored in the station preset memory that

you often listen to.

When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to

another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the

same RDS network with better reception.

The ™ indicator lights up when the AF function is turned

on.

Turning AF Function On/Off:

Hold down the MENU button for one second or more.

"MENU" is displayed and the menu mode is turned on.

Switching settings

Press either the AM button or FM button.

The display and setting will change.

Press the MENU button to end the menu mode.

Enhanced Other Network

Displaying Frequencies:

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit

information about other RDS stations that have traffic

information. When you are tuned to a station that is not

transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts

transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches

to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Hold down the DISP button for one second or more.

The frequency for the RDS station will be displayed for five

seconds instead of the station name.

NOTE

When no other stations with stronger reception are available for

the same programme in the RDS network, you may hear the

incoming broadcast in bits and snatches. Turn off the AF function

in such a case.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)

is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the

warning to be received.
