Safety precautions  
About CD players/disc changers connected  
to this unit  
Kenwood disc changers/CD players released in 1998  
or later can be connected to this unit.  
Refer to the catalog or consult your Kenwood dealer  
for connectable models of disc changers/CD players.  
Note that any Kenwood disc changers/CD players  
released in 1997 or earlier and disc changers made by  
other makers cannot be connected to this unit.  
Connecting unsupported disc changers/CD players to  
this unit may result in damage.  
2WARNING  
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.  
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and  
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting  
and wiring work to professionals.  
Set the "O-N" Switch to the "N" position for the  
applicable Kenwood disc changers/CD players.  
The functions you can use and the information  
that can be displayed may differ depending on the  
models being connected.  
Attach the panel while you are on the  
vehicle  
The panel lock arm appears when the panel is  
removed. Therefore, the panel must be attached  
while the electrical system of the car is operating.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you  
connect them incorrectly.  
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 place the faceplate (and 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.  
Lens Fogging  
When you turn on the car heater in cold weather,  
dew or condensation may form on the lens in the  
unit. Called lens fogging, this condensation on the  
lens may not allow DISC 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 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 fuse with  
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong  
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate  
or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage  
or breakdown.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.

Remote Controller  
This unit can be operated using the Remote Controller supplied with the unit.  
Put the Remote Controller in a place where it will not move during braking or other operations. A dangerous situation could  
result, if the Remote Controller falls down and gets wedged under the pedals while driving.  
Do not place the battery near an open flame or heat source. This may cause the battery to explode.  
Do not recharge, short, break up or heat the battery or place it in an open fire. Such actions may cause the battery to leak  
fluid. If spilled fluid comes in contact with your eyes or on clothing, immediately rinse with water and consult a physician.  
Place the battery out of reach of children. In the unlikely event that a child swallows the battery, immediately consult a  
physician.

However, the following restrictions apply to discs  
this unit can play.  
• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of folders: 254  
Acceptable audio files  
• MP3  
• WMA  
Audio files written in formats other than those  
shown above may not play properly or the file and  
folder names may not be displayed correctly.  
Settings for compression software and writing  
software  
It is recommended that when compressing an  
audio file you select the "constant" size of "128bps"  
for the transfer bit rate setting in the compression  
software. Select the "Disc at Once" setting when  
recording data by filling an empty disc at one time.  
Copy protected files cannot be played.  
Playback or display may not be possible owing to  
encoded software settings or environments.  
It may not be possible to play files with more recent  
versions of compressed formatting or files with added  
specifications.  
Acceptable MP3 formats  
This unit can play the following two MP3 file  
formats:  
MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG 2 Audio LSF Layer  
3 standard files.  
File names

unit will mistakenly recognize the file as an audio file,  
thus producing a loud noise that could damage the  
speakers.

BMS  
DISP  
With this function, you can control the amplification  
amount for the bass range of the optional power  
amplifier with B.M.S functions that is connected by EXT.  
CONT. cable.  
When set at the "OFF" position, the display disappears  
if the unit is not operated for a period of five seconds.  
This prevents the display from being reflected in the  
vehicle's windows.  
Values to be changed and the operation of the  
amplifier during the change may differ according to  
the amplifiers. For details, refer to the operation manual  
of the connected power amplifier.  
However, if any of the modes have been set the display  
will not disappear even after five seconds.  
When the display is off, pressing any buttons will return  
the display.  
For the amplifier with B.M.S function, refer to the  
catalog.  
Please note that when the display disappears, the  
only operations that can be performed are turning  
the power ON and OFF, adjusting volume, selecting a  
source and ejecting a disc.

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 chassis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-  
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.  
Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when  
the antenna cord has an ISO plug.  
Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by  
inserting jacks until they lock completely.  
If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source  
with constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power  
will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on  
and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the  
unit’s power with the ignition, connect the ignition wire  
to a power source that can be turned on and off with the  
ignition key.

If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not  
caused 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 short circuits, also 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 receive damage or  
fail to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them  
to any metal part in the car.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
Installation Procedure  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of  
the battery.
