Accessories/ Installation Procedure
Accessories 1..1 2..2 3..1 4..1 5..1 Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the battery. 2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit. 3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness. 4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle. 5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it to the external power connector on your vehicle. 6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit. 7. Install the unit in your car. 8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery. 9. Press the reset button.
If your car is not prepared for this special connectionsystem, consult your Kenwood dealer. Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO plug. Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely. If your vehicles ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the units power with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating. Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals. Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them to any metal part in the car. After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly. If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening. Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30 or less.

The values of Volume offset are low. Turn up the Volume offset, referring to the section on <Audio Control> (page 11). The <Built-in Amp Setting> (page 34) is OFF. Turn it ON. The sound quality is poor or distorted. One of the speaker wires is being pinched by a screw in the car. Check the speaker wiring. The speakers are not wired correctly. Reconnect the speaker wires so that each output terminal is connected to a different speaker. The Touch Sensor Tone doesnt sound. The preout jack is being used. The Touch Sensor Tone cant be output from the preout jack. Even though Synchronize Clock is ON, the clock cant be adjusted. The received RDS station isnt sending time data. Receive another RDS station. The Dimmer function doesnt work. The Dimmer wire isnt connected correctly. Check the Dimmer wire connection. The <Dimmer> (page 33) is OFF. Turn it ON. The panel is not hidden even when the power is turned off. The protection function for preventing fingers or other things from getting caught in between the panel and this unit has been activated. Turn off the power again. The sound is not output from Subwoofer or it outputs the different sound. When "2Zone" of <Audio Setup> (page12) is set to ON. Turn OFF "2Zone" of <Audio Setup>. Cannot display the Russian characters. -- Refer to <Selecting Russian Characters> (page 38).

KENWOOD KDC-W808 PCB LAYOUT AND DECODING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the CD mechanism from the unit and remove the main printed circuit board. Turn the board over and face the front towards the left so that the underside of the tuner is at the top as per the diagram below. Solder the Brown lead of probe 11 to the ninth solder pad of the tuner (counting backwards from the right) and solder the Black lead to pad number ten. The White lead should be soldered to a suitable ground connection. Apply 12v to the radio BEFORE plugging probe 11 into the decoder and proceed to decode in the usual manner. NOTE: After connecting the power supply, you will have a window of approx 8 seconds to connect the probe and decode the radio, after which an invalid code will result. If this happens, disconnect the power supply ONLY, leave for approx 1 minute and re-connect.
