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 0.75mm
(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.

2
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
About the disc changer to be
connected:
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to
"N".
When you connect a model with no "O-N"
switch, the converter cord CA-DS100
available as an option may be required. For
details, consult your Kenwood dealer.
If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected,
some unavailable functions and information
that cannot be displayed are generated, such
as the DNPS, DNPP, Magazine random play,
and CD Text display.
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers
can be connected.
2CAUTION
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
NOTE
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.

Safety precautions
NOTE
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not
undergone finalization processing cannot be
English
played. (For more information on finalization
processing, refer to the manual for your CDR/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.
• 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.
Cleaning the Unit
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.
2CAUTION
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
front panel with a hard cloth or using a
Reset button
volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may
scratch the surface or erases characters.
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
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.
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.
— 4 —
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
Tape
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.
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.
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.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
— 5 —
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
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 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.

Playback starts after the tape rewinds or fast forwards by the
specified number of tracks.
NOTE
• During the first five seconds of each track, the previous track is
considered the "current" track. If you press the 4 button
during that period, the tape rewinds to the beginning of the
previous track and not the one you are listening to.
• The DPSS function "knows" where a track begins by detecting
the blank space preceding it (the space between tracks).
However, when the blank space lasts for less than four seconds
or contains noise, this function may not operate correctly.
Furthermore, sections that are recorded at low levels may
trigger the function if they last for four seconds or more.
Cancelling DPSS During Its Operation:
Press the 38 button.
Blank Skip
Automatically fast forward to the beginning of the next track
when long blank spaces (10 seconds or more) are detected,
continuing tape playback. The B.S indicator lights up when
blank skip is turned on.
Turning Blank Skip On/Off:
Press the B.S button to switch blank skip on and off.
NOTE
• If the blank space contains much noise, the blank skip function
may not work right.
• Sections recorded at low levels may trigger the blank skip
function if they last for 10 seconds or more.
