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

(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.

NOTE

Safety precautions

Reset button

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 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, 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

• 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.

• There is no image on the monitor at times other than DVD mode.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

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

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.

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erases characters.

Cleaning the Disc Slot

As dust can accumulate in the Disc slot, clean it occasionally. Your Discs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty Disc slot.

2CAUTION

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 disc player of the unit. Called lens fogging, discs 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 Discs

Playing a Disc 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 Discs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling Discs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the Disc (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the disc.

Storing Discs

• Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight – such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot places.

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

Cleaning Discs

If a disc 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 discs with conventional record cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.

Checking New Discs for Burrs

When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. discs 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 disc slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction.

Removing the Disc

Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try pulling it down as it ejects.

Do Not Use Special Shape Discs

Be sure to use round shape Discs only for this unit and do not use any special shape Discs. Use of special shape Discs may cause the unit to malfunction.

Do Not Use Discs with Sticker on the Labelled Side

Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it. Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
