NOTE This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. --3-- Safety precautions English 2WARNING 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. · 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 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 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 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 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. --4-- NOTE · If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer. · Press the reset button if the disc auto changer is first controlled and operates incorrectly. The original operating condition will return. · 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. Cleaning the CD Slot 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. Reset button · We recommend the use of the Security Code function (see p. 28) to prevent theft. · Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C). Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. 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 while, 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. --5-- 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 (the side opposite the label) when holding it. English Storing CDs · Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the 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 while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that are 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 while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil. Burrs Burrs Cleaning CDs If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the center 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 --6-- Do Not Load CD Accessories Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilizers, 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 Labeled 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, holding it flat. 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. --7-- General features English 5/ Q SRC / PWR OFF CLK Power Turning on the power: Press the SRC (source) button.
