Safety precautions

2WARNING
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 automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2 (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.

2CAUTION

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 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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: 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 / KDCC601 / KDC-C401 Use the extension cable attached to the CD changer, and the optional CA-DS100 converter cord.

PROGRAM

Reset button
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.

Lens Fogging

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.

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. Handling CDs
Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side opposite the label) when holding it.

Storing CDs

Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot places. 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.
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.

Burrs 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.

Turning the volume all the way down deactivates the attenuator function.

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

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 Use Special Shape CDs
