Caution

Observe the following cautions when using this
unit.

Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic
conditions while driving.

This unit is designed for use exclusively in automobiles.

Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with the
engine turned off.

Operating the audio system for a long period of time with the
engine turned off will drain the battery.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or excessive
heat.

Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the unit, and
it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit.

Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,
moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to
smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure that
the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

Observe the following cautions when installing.

Refer wiring and installation to qualified service personnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For
maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer. Panasonic is not
liable for any problems resulting from your own installation of the
unit.

Follow the instructions to install and wire the product.

Not following the instructions to properly install and wire the prod-
uct could cause an accident or fire.

Take care not to damage the leads.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them
from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving
parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the
leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects
on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect the

leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.

Use the designated parts and tools for installation.

Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools to
install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied or
designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty instal-
lation may lead to an accident, a malfunction or fire.

Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the unit.

Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to overheat
and will result in fire or other damage.

Do not install the product where it is exposed to strong
vibrations or is unstable.

Avoid slanted or strongly curved surfaces for installation. If the
installation is not stable, the unit may fall down while driving and
this can lead to an accident or injury.

Installation Angle

The product should be installed in a horizontal position with the
front end up at a convenient angle, but not more than 30˚.
The user should bear in mind that in some areas there may be
restrictions on how and where this unit must be installed. Consult
your dealer for further details.

Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is complet-
ed before installation. 

To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the power
connector until the whole wiring is completed.

Do not connect more than one speaker to one set of
speaker leads. (except for connecting to a tweeter)

Observe the following cautions when using Front
Panel AUX.

Set the volume to low enough before the AUX connection
is completed.
Failure to observe this may cause loud noise and, conse-
quently, damage your speakers and your hearing.

Do not connect this AUX directly with a speaker/head-
phone output. Failure to observe this may distort sound
and break the internal amplifier.

Safety Information

Warning

Observe the following warnings when using this
unit.

The driver should neither watch the display nor operate
the system while driving.

Watching the display or operating the system will distract the driv-
er from looking ahead of the vehicle and can cause accidents.
Always stop the vehicle in a safe location and use the parking
brake before watching the display or operating the system.

Use the proper power supply.

This product is designed for operation with a negative grounded
12 V DC battery system. Never operate this product with other bat-
tery systems, especially a 24 V DC battery system.

Protect the Deck Mechanism.

Do not insert any foreign objects into the slot of this unit.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit.

Do not disassemble, modify the unit or attempt to repair the prod-
uct yourself. If the product needs to be repaired, consult your
dealer or an authorized Panasonic Service Centre.

Do not use the unit when it is out of order.

If the unit is out of order (no power, no sound) or in an abnormal
state (has foreign objects in it, is exposed to water, is smoking, or
smells), turn it off immediately and consult your dealer.

Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.

When the fuse burns out, eliminate the cause and have it replaced
with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified service engi-
neer. Incorrect replacement of the fuse may lead to smoke, fire,
and damage to the product.

Observe the following warnings when installing.

Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery termi-
nal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal con-
nected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short circuit.
Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have specific
procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE
UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.

Never use safety-related components for installation,
grounding, and other such functions.

Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank, brake,
suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for wiring or fix-
ing the product or its accessories.

Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a location
where it interferes with airbag operation is prohibited.

Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and other
items before installing the product.

If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or wire
the product, first check where the wire harness, gasoline tank, and
electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside if pos-
sible.

Never install the product in a location where it interferes
with your field of vision.

Never have the power cord branched to supply other
equipment with power.

After installation and wiring, you should check the nor-
mal operation of other electrical equipment.

The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions may cause
fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping car,
confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle manufactur-
er before installation.

Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or get-
ting in and out of the vehicle.

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuiting.

Caution

This product utilizes a laser.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Do not take apart this unit or attempt to
make any changes yourself.

Notes on Discs

How to hold a disc

¡

Do not touch the underside of a disc.

¡

Do not scratch on a disc.

¡

Do not bend a disc.

¡

When not in use, keep a disc in a case.

Do not use irregularly shaped discs.
Do not leave discs in the following places:

¡

Direct sunlight

¡

Near car heaters

¡

Dirty, dusty and damp areas

Some copy-protected music CDs are not playable.

¡

You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

¡

CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage and make
playback impossible.

¡

Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.

¡

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.

¡

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA or MP3 data.

You are recommended to minimize the chances of mak-
ing a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3 files.

¡

songs may not play in the intended order, or some songs
may not play at all.

¡

Do not record files other than MP3 files and unnecessary
folder on a disc.

¡

The name of MP3 file should be added by rules as shown in
the following descriptions and also comply with the rules of
each file system.

¡

You may encounter trouble in playing MP3 files or display-
ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writ-
ing software or CD recorders.

¡
