who want to use older changers with the  
unit, follow the directions below according to  
the type of changer you own:  
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.  
To prevent damage to the machine,  
take the following precautions:  
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative  
12V DC power supply.  
• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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  
• When extending the ignition, battery or  
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-  
grade cables or other cables with an area of  
2
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.  
• 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.  
Cannot be used with this model.  
2CAUTION  
You can damage both your unit and  
the CD changer if you connect them  
incorrectly.

Safety precautions  
Handling Mini discs  
Lens Fogging  
NOTE  
• 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.  
In cold climates, there may be a period after  
you turn on your vehicle's heater when the  
lens that guides the laser beam used in your  
MD player fogs up. If this happens, you  
cannot play mini discs. Take out discs and  
the fogging will disappear. If it does not  
return to normal after several hours, contact  
your Kenwood dealer.  
• If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
• If the unit does not seem to be working right,  
try pressing the reset button first. If that does  
not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood  
dealer.

LASER PRODUCT  
• 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.)  
Reset button  
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult  
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).  
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.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get  
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.  
Cleaning the Unit  
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a  
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be  
placed in an MD case for storage.  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
• 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.  
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.
