Installation Procedure

If your car is not prepared for this special connectionsystem, 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 vehicles 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
units 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.
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.
2. Make the proper input and output wire
connections for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and
connect it to the speaker connector in your
vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and
connect it to the external power connector on
your vehicle.
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the
unit.
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.

may just be the result of slight misoperation or
miswiring. Before calling service, first check the
following table for possible problems.

No sound can be heard, or the volume is low.


The fader or balance settings are set all the way to
one side.
Center the fader and balance settings.
The input/output wires or wiring harness are
connected incorrectly.
Reconnect the input/output wires or the
wiring harness correctly. See the section on
<Connecting Wires to Terminals>.
The values of Volume offset are low.
Turn up the Volume offset, referring to the
section on <Audio Control> (page 11).
The <Built-in Amp Setting> (page 34) is OFF.
Turn it ON.

The sound quality is poor or distorted.


One of the speaker wires is being pinched by a
screw in the car.
Check the speaker wiring.
The speakers are not wired correctly.
Reconnect the speaker wires so that each
output terminal is connected to a different
speaker.

The Touch Sensor Tone doesnt sound.


The preout jack is being used.
The Touch Sensor Tone cant be output from
the preout jack.
