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.
• 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.

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.
Setting of the O-N switch will be required
depending on the centre unit that is to be
connected.
The operations you perform and the
resultant operation of the unit will differ
depending on the setting of the O-N
switch. Please see the appropriate
description of operations for the "O" or
"N" switch setting.

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 Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the MD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, MDs 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
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 set the removed faceplate or the
faceplate case in areas exposed to direct
sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also
avoid places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.
• 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.

Safety precautions
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be
placed in an MD case for storage.
• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to
direct sunlight (such as on a instrument
panel) or in other places that reach high
temperatures. The MD cartridge will become
misshapen and will no longer be usable.
• MDs designed for use with data cannot be
used. Please use MDs designed for music.
• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead
to breakdown.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This unit is NOT designed to be connected
directly to control units that are manufactured
and sold before 1994. If used with such
units, an optional CA-SD200 (sold separately)
must be used.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND CONTROL
UNIT.
Handling Mini discs
• The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot
be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will
be damaged and use of the MD will no
longer be possible. If the shutter has been
opened due to some cause, be careful not to
touch the recording portion with a finger.
Doing so will cause the sound to skip.
• Do not use an MD that has a peeling label.
Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling
label may cause problems, such as the label
coming off inside the player and the resultant
inability to eject the MD.
• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge
surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an
oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in
the disc not loading or being unable to eject
it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to open
the shutter.)
