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.

· 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.

2WARNING

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 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.

· 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.

· Do not apply excessive force to the moving

faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or

malfunction.

· Do not apply excessive force to the open

faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will

cause damage or breakdown.

2CAUTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You cannot connect the unit directly to the

following CD automatic changers. For users

who want to use older changers with the

the type of changer you own:

· 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 /

· If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

· If the unit fails to operate properly, press the

RESET button. When the faceplate controls

are not visible, press the left part at the

upper side of the faceplate (as illustrated on

p.8) for as many times as you have preset to

make the faceplate controls appear. The unit

returns to factory settings when the RESET

button is pressed. After you press the reset

button, the Mask Key will be needed to

restart the unit. If the unit still fails to operate

properly after the RESET button has been

pressed, contact your local KENWOOD

dealer for assistance.

· Press the reset button if the CD auto

changer is first controlled and operates

incorrectly. The original operating condition

will return.

· 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.

· The functions that can be used and the

information that can be displayed will differ

depending on the external disc players being

connected.

Safety precautions

Mask key

If you have transmitted the Mask Key's

signal once to the unit in advance, you will

have to transmit it once again if the unit has

been removed from the battery. This

function helps prevent theft.

When using the unit for the first time:

In order to deactivate the demonstration

mode, be sure to press the transmit button

to transmit the Mask Key's signal.

If this procedure is not carried out, the

control panel of the unit will re-open in two

seconds even with your vehicle's ignition

turned off.

Do not loose the "Mask Key".

If power is disconnected from the unit,

correct operation can only be restored by the

"Mask Key's" signal.

The "Mask Key" will also be required for

service repair.

If you send products in for repair that include

a mask key, make sure to present the unit

together with the mask key.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the

power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon

cloth or soft cloth.

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.

Cleaning the Tape Head

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.

2CAUTION

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.

· 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.
