IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About the disc changer to be
connected:
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to
"N".
To connect a disc changer having no "O-N"
switch to this unit, the converter cord CA-
DS100 and/or switching adapter KCA-S210A
are required as options.
If a model with no "O-N" switch is
connected, some unavailable functions and
information that cannot be displayed are
generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP,
Magazine random play, and CD Text display.
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,

can be connected.
2WARNING
2CAUTION
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.
• 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.
• 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.
2CAUTION
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision
equipment.
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 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.

Safety precautions
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.)
• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be
placed in an MD case for storage.
• 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.
• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead
to breakdown.
Lens Fogging
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.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
NOTE
• 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.

Cleaning the Unit
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.
2CAUTION
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.
Reset button
• Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).
Handling Mini discs
• 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.
• 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 functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players being
connected.
About the play time of MD long play
performance time display
If the MD performance time goes over 100
minutes only the last 2 digits of performance
time are shown.
• 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.

RDS features
RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive
signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as
network information being transmitted from radio stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS
capability), the programme service name of the station is
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which
station is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data
for the same station. When you are making long trips, this
function automatically switches to the particular frequency
with the best reception for the particular network of stations
that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,
broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.
These include stations stored in the station preset memory that
you often listen to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit
information about other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts
transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches
to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.
