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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. If you
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 cord.
• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDCC601 / KDC-C401
Use the extension cable attached to the CD
changer, and the optional CA-DS100
converter cord.
• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /
non-Kenwood CD changers
Cannot be used with this model.
2CAUTION
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
FCC WARNING
This equipment may generate or use radio
frequency energy. Changes or modifications
to this equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications are
expressly approved in the instruction manual.
The user could lose the authority to operate
this equipment if an unauthorized change or
modification is made.

• 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

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 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.
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

Cleaning the Unit
OFF
• 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.
• 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.

Removing the Faceplate
The faceplate can be detached from the unit, helping to deter
theft.
English
Removing the faceplate:
1
Choose the way from among the following and open the
faceplate.
Turn the ignition off, press the SRC button for at least one
second, or press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate
(as illustrated on p.11) for as many times as you have preset in
the "Manual Open Button Setting" (OPEN SW #) in the menu
when the control panel has been hidden.
2
Set the faceplate's angle adjustment switch to "0" to set the
faceplate angle to the vertical.
For details, refer to "Faceplate Angle Adjustment" (page 13).
NOTE
If the faceplate's angle adjustment switch is not set to "0" when
mounting the faceplate on the faceplate bracket, it may be
difficult to mount the faceplate or the faceplate may not be
securely attached and could fall off.
Set the angle adjustment switch to "0" before removing the
faceplate.
3
Slide the faceplate lock switch to the left during the period
which you have set in the "Time setting for removing the
faceplate" in the menu.
• When removing the faceplate, pull it out only when it is fully
open. The detachment of the faceplate while it is moving might
result in damage to the unit.
• Do not apply excessive force to the faceplate bracket without
attaching the faceplate. Doing so will cause the faceplate
bracket to be deformed.
• Do not touch the connector on the faceplate bracket after
removing the faceplate. Touching the connector may cause
damage to the unit.
• Do not touch two metal parts on both sides of the faceplate
bracket. Touching those parts may injure you.
NOTE
• Sliding the faceplate lock switch cause the unit’s power to turn
off. If you want to operate the unit again, remove the faceplate
from the faceplate bracket completely and then reattach it.
• The faceplate is a precision piece of equipment and can be
damaged by shocks or jolts. For that reason, keep the faceplate
in its special storage case while detached.
• Do not expose the faceplate or its storage case to direct
sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with
too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
Reattaching the Faceplate:
1
Hold the faceplate so that the control panel faces the front
toward you and set the left side of the faceplate in the
faceplate bracket.
2CAUTION
Do not set the right side of the faceplate in the faceplate bracket
first, when reattaching the faceplate. Doing so may cause the
connector on the faceplate bracket to malfunction.
2
Press the right side of the faceplate until it locks.
