Safety precautions

2WARNING

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 0.75mm2 (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.

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 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.

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 / KDC-C401

Use the extension cable attached to the CD changer, and the optional CA-DS100 converter cable.

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.

Safety precautions

NOTE

If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

If the unit fails to operate properly, press the RESET button. When the faceplate is not visible, press “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate (as illustrated on p.9) to make the faceplate control appear. The unit returns to factory settings when the RESET button is pressed. If the unit still fails to operate properly after the RESET button has been pressed, contact your local KENWOOD dealer for assistance.

Press the reset button if the CD auto changer is first controlled and operates incorrectly. The original operating condition will return.

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.

2CAUTION

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.

Reset button

We strongly recommend the use of the Code Security function (see p.34) to prevent theft.

Cleaning the Tape Head

After you have used the tape player many times over a long period, 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 pinch rollers, causing trouble.

Do not play a deformed cassette or one whose label is starting to come off, as it can cause the unit to malfunction.

Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as above the fascia panel (dashboard) 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 whilst. If you leave a tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the tape head and cause unit malfunction.

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.34) 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.

8 —

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

NOTE Touch-sensitive spot

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

Switching Modes

Switching Modes:

Each time you press the SRC button, the mode switches as follows:

Tuner mode

Tape mode

Disc control mode

NOTE

The mode switches to the next mode from any mode which cannot be used.

The disc control mode will differ depending on the unit that is connected.

Volume

Increasing Volume:

Press the ubutton to turn up the volume.

Decreasing Volume:

Press the dbutton to turn down the volume.

Attenuator

This function allows you to turn down the volume quickly.

Turning Attenuator On/Off:

Press the ATT button to switch the attenuator on and off. When the attenuator is on, the ATT indicator blinks.

When the attenuator is off, the volume returns to the original level.

NOTE

Turning down the volume all the way turns off the attenuator function.
