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 automotive-
grade cables or other cables with an area of
0.75mm
2
(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.
2WARNING
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.
2CAUTION
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.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
2CAUTION
Safety precautions
— 4 —
English
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, slide the manual open switch (as
illustrated on p.6) for as many times as you
have preset 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.
Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
NOTE
Mask key
If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal
once to the unit in advance, you will have to
transmit it once again if the unit has been
removed from the battery. This function
helps prevent theft.
When using the unit for the first time:
In order to deactivate the demonstration
mode, be sure to press the transmit button
to transmit the Mask Key's signal.
If this procedure is not carried out, the
control panel of the unit will re-open in two
seconds even with your vehicle's ignition
turned off.
Do not loose the "Mask Key".
If power is disconnected from the unit,
correct operation can only be restored by the
"Mask Key's" signal.
The "Mask Key" will also be required for
service repair.
If you send products in for repair that include
a mask key, make sure to present the unit
together with the mask key.
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 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.
2CAUTION
NOTE
2CAUTION
Safety precautions
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.

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.
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
“Manual Open Switch” 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 forced closing of unit and open control panel:
Slide the Manual open switch, as illustrated below, for as many
times as you have preset in the "Manual Open Switch Setting
(OPEN SW#)" in the menu.
When you set the Manual Open Switch setting to 2 or 3, slide the
manual open switch successively. If you do not slide the switch
successively, this cannot be verified correctly.
Manual open switch
NOTE
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.
After installation of your Mask unit, be sure to transmit the
"Mask Key's" signal to deactivate the demonstration mode.
If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of the unit
will re-open in two seconds even with your vehicle's ignition
turned off.
When the control panel of the faceplate is hidden, the unit will
be locked by the sleeve, making it more difficult to remove the
unit.
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.
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.
