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
automotive-grade 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.
• 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
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.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
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.
2CAUTION
Safety precautions

English
• If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Press the reset button if the CD auto
changer is first controlled and operates
incorrectly. The original operating condition
will return.
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
• We strongly recommend the use of the
Code Security function (see p.28) to prevent
theft.
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.
• The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players
being connected.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
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.
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.
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.

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
(i.e., 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
above the fascia panel (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 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 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.
•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.
Switching Modes:
Each time you press the SRC button, the mode switches as
follows:
Selecting the standby mode:

mode only).
During the AUX mode, "AUX" (or AUX-name display) will show
in the display. When the CA-C1AX is being used, the AUX Mode
will replace the External Disc Control Mode.
• If you have selected Standby mode, the timer function that
turns the power off automatically will be activated.
To find out how to set the time on the timer, and how to cancel
the timer function, refer to the section on the Power OFF Timer
function under Menu settings (page 35).
The Power OFF Timer function is enabled only after the security
code (page 28) is set up.
