Safety precautions  
Lens Fogging  
2WARNING  
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.  
To prevent injury or fire, take the  
following precautions:  
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any  
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools)  
inside the unit.  
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 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.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.  
Attach the panel while you are on the  
vehicle  
The panel lock arm will be appeared when the  
panel is removed. Therefore, the panel must be  
attached during the driving.  
Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD  
slot  
If you try to load a 8 cm (3 in.) CD with its adapter  
into the unit, the adapter might separate from the  
CD and damage the unit.

• 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

of the illustrations on the display may represent  
something impossible in actual operation.  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals  
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty,  
wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
1
..........1  
..........2  
..........4  
..........4  
..........1  
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF  
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit  
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with  
one with the same rating.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove  
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the  
terminals.  
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.
