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.

2CAUTION
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
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

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.

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.
• 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

resultant inability to eject the MD.
2CAUTION
• 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.)
• 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.
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.
• 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.

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.
