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.
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.
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.
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.

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 CDRW 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. Tape
Be sure to use CDs with disc mark Checking New CDs for Burrs

Safety Precautions

2WARNING
Take the following precautions to prevent fire and avoid personal injury:
When extending the ignition cable, battery cable, or ground cable, use 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or larger automotive grade cable to avoid cable deterioration or damage to the covering. Check that no metal objects (coins, tools, etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short circuits. If you smell or see smoke, turn the power off immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer. 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.

2CAUTION

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. on hot places such as above the dashboard. To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

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.
If you have difficulty in installing this unit in your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer. If it doesnt seem to be working properly, first press the Reset button. If the malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.
REP CD AUTO CHANGER CONTROLLER
Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents. These may damage external surfaces or remove indicator characters.

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 whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.

FREQ LEVEL RDM REP

The marking of products using lasers (Except for some areas)

Reset button

Take the following precautions to keep the unit in proper working order.
Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power supply with a negative ground connection. Do not open the top or bottom cover. Do not install the unit in places it is exposed to direct sunlight, high heat or humidity, water may splash over it, or dust exists.
Some car stereos cause the sound of the tuner to make for a moment when an engine is activated. The reception of the tuner may be reduced a little if the KDC-C467FM is used. If the sound is lower than the tuner sound, raise up the volume level of the CD with using the receiver. Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

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.

Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the dashboard. Loading and Replacing the Batteries: Use two "AAA" batteries. Slide the cover while pressing downwards to remove it as illustrated. Insert the batteries with the + and poles aligned properly, following the illustration inside the case.
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children. Contact a doctor immediately if the battery is accidentally swallowed.
The provided batteries are intended for use in operation checking, and their service life may be short. When the remote controlable distance becomes short, replace both of the batteries with new ones.
A portion of the operations may not be possible, depending on the unit that is connected.

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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
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 CDRW 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. Tape 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. Be sure to use CDs with disc mark only for this unit. 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.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the Labelled 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.

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.

Loading Compact Discs
