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 traffi c 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, fi re, 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, fi re, or
other damage to the unit. Make especially sure that the unit does not get wet
in car washes or on rainy days.
❏
Set the volume level to low enough before the AUX connection is completed.
Failure to observe this, the loud noise may come out and damage your
speakers and your hearing. Direct connection of the speaker/headphone
output of an external device without any attenuator may distort sound or
damage the connected external device.
Observe the following cautions when installing.
❏
Refer wiring and installation to qualifi ed 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 prob-
lems 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 product could
cause an accident or fi re.
❏
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 installation may lead to an accident, a
malfunction or fi re.
❏
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 fi re 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 completed before instal-
lation.
❏
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 USB
device.
¡
Do not connect a USB device directly to this unit. If the USB device is
connected directly to this unit and an accident occurs, or if the brakes are
applied suddenly, the driver or passenger may bump into the USB device
and may get injured.
¡
Position the USB device and USB extension cable so that they do not
obstruct your driving.
¡
Do not connect any USB device other than USB memory or a USB audio
player. Do not connect multiple USB devices to the
USB connector. Drawing power for multiple USB devices from the connec-
tor could cause overheating and smoking.
Observe the following cautions when handling the
battery for the remote control unit.
¡
Use only specifi ed battery (CR2025).
¡
Match the polarity of the battery with the (+) and (−) marks in the battery
case.
¡
Replace a dead battery as soon as possible.
¡
Remove the battery from the remote control unit when not using it for an
extended period of time.
¡
Insulate the battery (by placing them in a plastic bag or covering them with
vinyl tape) before disposal or storage.
¡
Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations.
¡
Do not disassemble, recharge, heat or short the battery. Do not throw a
battery into a fi re or water.
In case of battery leakage
¡
Thoroughly wipe the battery liquid off the battery case and insert new bat-
tery.
¡
If any part of your body or clothing comes into contact with battery liquid,
wash it with plenty of water.
¡
If battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with plenty of
water and get immediate medical attention.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
¡
You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fi ngerprints,
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 vehicle for extended periods may damage
and make playback impossible.
¡
The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW that
was made by the combination of writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drives) and a disc if they are incom-
patible with one another.
¡
This player does not play CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.
¡
Be sure to observe the handling instructions of CD-R/RW
discs.
¡
This player does not play CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.
Notes on MP3/WMA
Both of MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media™ Audio) is a format for compressed audio fi le. These
formats allow users to save all the fi les contained in approximately 10 pieces of existing CDs on one piece of CD-R/RW.
Note: Each of encoding software is not included with this unit.
*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.

Compressed audio fi le writing
¡
Do not save an audio fi le (CD-DA fi le) and a com-
pressed audio fi le on the same disc. Failure to
observe this may result in diffi culty in playing.
¡
If compressed audio fi les formatted with two or more
types are saved on the same disc, each format shall
have a different folder.
¡
Do not write fi les other than compressed audio fi les.
¡
Playability may depend on the combination of writing
software and disc writer to be used.
¡
This unit does not support the play list function.
¡
Write fi les in a disc-at-once manner unless otherwise
needed.
¡

fi les, the nearest MP3/WMA fi les in the order of play-
back will be played.
¡
Playback order may be different from other MP3/WMA
players even if the same disc is used.
¡
“ROOT” appears when displaying the root folder name.
¡
Empty folders stored on the USB memory are not
included in the folder count.
¡
Depending on the connected USB memory, the order in
which the fi les are played back may differ to the order
