2WARNING
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm
(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.

To prevent damage to the unit, 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

with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You can enjoy a DVD with this unit alone when
connecting it to an external monitor or audio
equipment.
Also, you can operate this unit connected to a
center unit made by Kenwood to output
sound.
A Kenwood-made center unit that can be
connected to this unit is called "Center Unit".
About a center unit that can be
connected to this unit:
If a center unit (such as CD receivers) has
capability for "N" of <"O-N" switch>, this unit
can be connected to this unit.
According to the operating instructions of a
center unit, the setting of <"O-N" switch> is
"N". This unit is, however, exclusive to "N".
Therefore, <"O-N" switch> is unnecessary.
If using a separate CD/MD changer switching
unit "KCA-S210A", AUX audio input is enabled
also on a disc changer control equipped center
unit not compatible with "N". In this case, this
unit cannot be operated on the center unit.
For connections to this unit, refer to "When
your car audio has RCA input" (page 32).
For details of connection, refer to the
operating instructions attached to KCA-S210A.
The functions available and/or information
displayable may depend on types of units to
which you connect.
