English

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 0.75mm

(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.

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 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.

•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. 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.

• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 / non-Kenwood CD changers

Cannot be used with this model.

You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you connect them incorrectly.

•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.

•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.

NOTE

Reset button

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 hard 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 CD Slot

As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot, clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD slot.

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.

2CAUTION

Cleaning the Tape Head

After you have listened to many cassettes over a long period of time, 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.

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 on dashboards 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 while. If you leave a tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the tape head and cause unit malfunction.

English

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.

•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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

•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.

•Do not use any CD which does not bear one of the following marks:

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 CDR or CD-RW writing software.) 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 Labeled 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.
