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 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. · Do not apply excessive force to the moving faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or malfunction. · Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage or breakdown. 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". When you connect a model with no "O-N" switch, the converter cord CA-DS100 available as an option may be required. For details, consult your Kenwood dealer. 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, C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers can be connected. 2CAUTION You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you connect them incorrectly. Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the CD slot If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter into the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and damage the unit. --3-- Safety precautions English NOTE · If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer. · Press the reset button if the CD auto changer is first controlled and operates incorrectly. The original operating condition will return. Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. The marking of products using lasers (Except for some areas) 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. 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 of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit. 2CAUTION Reset button · Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C). · We strongly recommend the use of the Code Security function (see p.32) to prevent theft. · 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. 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. Lens Fogging Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or condensation may form on the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate normally after a whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer. Cleaning the CD Slot As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD slot. --4-- Handling Compact discs Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or warped can cause the sound to skip and the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound quality. Take the following precautions to prevent your CDs from getting scratched or damaged. Handling CDs · Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it. Storing CDs · Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight ­ such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (dashboard) ­ or other hot places. A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a music CD to damage from high temperatures and humidity, and in some cases, may become unusable if left in the car for long periods of time. · Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a whilst, and put them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that have been removed from their cases or prop them against something. Checking New CDs for Burrs When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil. Burrs Burrs Cleaning CDs If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene. · The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more fragile than that on an ordinary music CD, and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely to cause skipping when the disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this information carefully before using the disc. · Do not stick tape on either side of the CD. Tape --5-- Handling Compact discs English Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction. Do Not Use Special Shape CDs · Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit to malfunction. Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the Labelled Side Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on it. Using such a CD may cause the CD to be deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit. Removing the CD Only remove the CD from the machine in a horizontal direction. You may damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as it ejects. · Be sure to use CDs with disc mark only for this unit. ·CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone finalization processing cannot be played. (For more information on finalization processing, refer to the manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW. --6-- Notes on playing MP3 files This unit can play MP3 files. Note, however, that the MP3 file recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following restrictions. Entering file and folder names When entering file and folder names, use the alphanumeric characters described above only. If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used. The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 files which have the MP3 filename extension (.MP3). MP3 files should therefore be saved with the MP3 extension. Acceptable media The MP3 file recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW. Acceptable medium formats The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 excluding the extended formats. When reading an MP3 file written in a format other than ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, the unit may fail to play the file normally or display the file or folder name correctly. The major specifications of ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows: · Maximum number of directory levels: 8 · Maximum number of files and folders per directory level: 253 (files and folders in total) · Characters available to file and folder names: A - Z, 0 - 9, _(underscore) · Maximum number of characters in file names : Level 1: 12 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension) Level 2: 31 (including a separator "." and a 3-character extension) Writing files into a medium When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3 files. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a file search or folder search may not be performed smoothly. You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the medium. 2CAUTION Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, set the transfer bit rate of the encoder to fixed 128 kbps. When you use your CD writer to record MP3 files up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disk up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once. When playing MP3 files on a medium which also contains non-MP3 files or folders, observe the following precautions. Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to break the speakers. · Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 files as long as they have the MP3 extension. · Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3 file. MP3 file playing order When selected for play, folder search, file search, or for folder select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer. Because of this, the order in which they are to be recorded does not match the order in which they are played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer. Entering ID3 tag Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1 and 1.1; the character code is ASCII (see A List of Codes). --7-- Notes on playing MP3 files English For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to folder search, file search, or folder select as shown below. Folder File Virtual folder When a folder search is executed with file being played ... Root Example of a medium's folder/file hierarchy (For a file search or folder search) Medium's virtual folder/file hierarchy for a folder select When a folder search is executed with file currently being played, the unit selects folders as shown below, starting with folder .

For example, the virtual folder below the folder named " 4 " is displayed with a name of " (4) ". The file name of each virtual folder is displayed with up to 29 characters (in the ISO 9660 Level 2 format) or 10 characters (in the ISO 9660 Level 1 format), excluding the binding parentheses. · The FM button is disabled in a folder because it has no subordinate hierarchical level below. Immediately after entering the folder select mode as in the above example, therefore, the FM button cannot be used as there is no hierarchical level below folder . Once you have moved to folder using the folder select function, for example, you can use the FM button to select folder one level below. --8-- General features 5/ Q / AUD SRC / PWR OFF CLK Power Turning on the power: Press the SRC button.
