Safety precautions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2WARNING
2CAUTION
About CD players/disc changers
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 automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2
(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.
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.
connected to this unit
KENWOOD disc changers/ CD players
released in 1998 or later can be connected to
this unit.
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood
dealer for connectable models of disc
changers/ CD players.
Note that any KENWOOD disc changers/ CD
players released in 1997 or earlier and disc
changers made by other makers cannot be
connected to this unit.
Unsupported connection may result in
damage.
Setting the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for
the applicable KENWOOD disc changers/ CD
players.
• 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.
The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the models being connected.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision
equipment.
You can damage both your unit and the CD
changer if you connect them incorrectly.
• 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.
• 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 Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot
If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate from
the CD and damage 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 CD Slot
NOTE
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD
slot.
• 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.
• Press the reset button if the Disc auto
changer fails to operate correctly. Normal
operation should be restored.

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.

LASER PRODUCT
• 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 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

2CAUTION
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the
ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off
with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power
source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the
battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the
faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to
cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the
same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar
material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on
the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you
share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the system,
connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals
or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker
to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a
rear output terminal.
(KDC-3026/KDC-2026/KDC-226/
KDC-226B only)
The use of any accessories except for those provided might result in
damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories shipped with
the unit, as shown above.
Installation Procedure
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the - battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground,
battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the - battery.
8. Press the reset button.
