To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.

• When extending the ignition, battery or
ground cables, make sure to use automotive­grade cables or other cables with an area of

0.75mm

2

(AWG18) or more to prevent cable
deterioration and damage to the cable
coating.

• To prevent short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., 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.

• 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.

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 short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

• Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.

• During installation, do not use any screws
except for the ones provided. The use of
improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.

2CAUTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. For users
who 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 cable.

• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-C601 /

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 stiff 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.

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean
it occasionally. 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 whilst,
consult your Kenwood dealer.

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

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.

CLASS 1

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
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.

• 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 above the
fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot
places.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not
listening to them for a whilst, and put them
back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that
have been removed from their cases or prop
them against something.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
centre 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 whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot

Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD

slot, such as stabilisers, 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. You may damage the
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as
it ejects.

Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the
CD slot

If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.

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.

Basic operations (See page 6)

Stealth Retraction Mechanism

You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the
faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the
unit, and shutting off the audio.

Power ON/OFF:

When you turn your vehicle’s ignition on, the unit’s power will
also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control
panel.
When you turn your vehicle’s ignition off, the faceplate will
reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit’s power will turn
off.

• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and
return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the
action.

• The status of the Code Security Function (P.33) is displayed
whenever the power is switched on.
"CODE ON" (Code Security has been registered)
"CODE OFF" (Code Security has not been registered)

Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles

• Make sure the console is uncovered whilst the faceplate is
reversed.

• Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit,
including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit’s
mechanism.

Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):

Hold down the SRC button for one second or more.
The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn
off.

• When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn
off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object
and press the SRC button to turn the unit back on, then turn it
off again to make it close properly.

• Whilst the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not
have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control
panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may
damage the unit.

NOTE

2CAUTION

NOTE

• During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left
closed whilst ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open
no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off, unless “the
touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate is pressed in
order to open it. You can prevent tampering of the unit when
letting someone else drive your car by keeping it closed this
way.

To cancel the stealth retraction mechanism’s forced closing of
unit and open control panel:

Press “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate.
(as illustrated)

Touch-sensitive spot

The invisible switch is hiding behind the touch-sensitive spot.
Press the hollow spot (invisible switch) to open.

RDS features (See page 7)

RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive
signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as
network information being transmitted from radio stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS
capability), the programme service name of the station is
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly
which station is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency
data for the same station. When you are making long trips,
this function automatically switches to the particular
frequency with the best reception for the particular network of
stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically
stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS
stations, broadcasting the same programme, that has better
reception. These include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.

EON (Enhanced Other Network)

Stations that offer EON also transmit information about other
RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are
tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information,
but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin,
the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the
duration of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the
warning to be received.

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 cable connections for each unit.

3. Connect the cable 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.

• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system,
consult your KENWOOD dealer.

• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the
antenna cord has an ISO plug.

• Make sure that all cable connections are securely made by
inserting jacks until they lock completely.

• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if
the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant
voltage such as a battery cable, 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 unit's power with the ignition,
connect the ignition cable to a power source that can be turned
on and off with the ignition key.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with
the same rating.

• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short
circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the
unconnected cables or the terminals.

• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if
you share the - cables 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.

• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar
material.

• Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection.
See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.

• 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.

2CAUTION

9. Press “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate (see
p.9) to make the faceplate control panel appear. Then press the
