a traffic accident.

❑

Refer fuse replacement to qualified service person­nel.

When the fuse blows out, eliminate the cause and have it
replaced with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified
service engineer. 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
terminal before installation.

connected 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 fixing 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 possible.

❑

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
normal 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
manufacturer before installation.

❑

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

❑

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuit­ing.

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.

❑

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.

❑

Do not connect the front AUX directly with a speak­er/headphone output. Failure to observe this, the
sound may not only be distorted, but also break the
internal amplifier.

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

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.

Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS Basics

Some FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible with RDS. This unit offers convenient functions using such data.
RDS service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not available in your area, the following serv­ice is not available, either. This chapter explains the summary and operation regarding RDS.
The following functions are available when receiving RDS stations.

Programme Service Name (PS)
Display

The name of the station is displayed.

Alternative Frequency (AF)

When reception is poor, an RDS station broadcasting the
same programme is tuned in automatically.

Traffic Programme (TP)

Some RDS FM stations periodically provide a traffic
announcement.
Stations which broadcast the traffic announcement are
called Traffic Programme (TP).

Traffic Announcement (TA)

Radio announcements on traffic conditions.

Clock Time (CT) Service

When receiving an RDS station, the CT service automatical­ly adjusts the time.
“

NO CT

”

is displayed in areas where CT service is not avail-

able. (a Page 9 for Clock Setting)

Programme Type (PTY) Display

RDS FM stations provide a programme type identification
signal.
Example: news, rock, classical music, etc. (a Page 15)

Programme Identification (PI)

Each programme has its own number. This may be used to
search for another frequency on which the same pro­gramme is broadcast.

Region (REG)

Each region has its own number. This may be used to
identify the region where the station you are now listening
to is located.

When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network
stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated
by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS informa­tion. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations,
including the one that is currently tuned in to. For exam­ple, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be
able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency,
or another station serving the same programme. EON also
keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick recep­tion.

Notes on MP3

What is MP3?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) is the compression format of digital
audio. This is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts
Group). Using this compression format, you can record the
contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD. (This figure
refers to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed
bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

Note:

¡ MP3 encoding and CD writing software programs are not

supplied with this unit.

Points to remember when making MP3 files

¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended

for high quality sound.

¡ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended

because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.

¡ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding

circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions of your
own encoding software and writing software.

¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more”

and “fixed”.

Display Information

Displayed items

Displayable characters

¡ Displayable length of file name/folder name: within 32 charac-

ters. (Unicoded file and folder names are reduced by half in
the number of displayable characters.)

¡ Name files and folders in accordance with the standard of

each file system. Refer to the instructions of writing software
for details.

¡ ASCII character set and special characters in each language

can be displayed.

¡Some Cyrillic characters in the Unicode can be displayed.

ASCII character set

A to Z, a to z, digits 0 to 9, and the following symbols:

Special characters

À Á Â Ã Å à á â ã å
Ä ä
Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö ò ó ô õ ö
Ù Ú Û Ü ù ú û ü

Note:

¡ With some software in which MP3 format files have been

encoded, the character information may not be displayed
properly.

¡ Undisplayable characters and symbols will be converted into

an asterisk ( ).

¡It is recommended that the length of the file name is less than

8 (excluding the file extension).

¡ You are recommended to minimize the chances of making a

disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3 files.

¡ If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 files, the 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 fold-

er on a disc.

¡ The name of an MP3 file should be added by rules as shown

in the following descriptions.

¡ The file extension “.mp3” should be assigned.

¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3 files or displaying

the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writing
software or CD recorders.

¡ This unit does not have a play list function.
¡ Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of

Disc-at-Once is recommended.

Supported file systems

ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 9660, Joliet,
Romeo

Note:
¡ Apple HFS, UDF 1.50, Mix CD and CD Extra are not supported.

Folder selection order/file playback order

Maximum number of files/folders

¡ Maximum number of files: 999
¡ Maximum depth of trees: 8
¡ Maximum number of folders: 255 (Root folder is included.)

Note:

¡You can shorten the duration between data read and playback by

decreasing the quantity of files or folders, or the depth of the hierar­chy.

¡ This unit counts the number of folders irrespective of the presence or

absence of an MP3 file.

¡ If the selected folder does not contain any MP3 files, the nearest MP3

files in the order of playback will be played.

¡ Playback order may be different from other MP3 players even if the

same disc is used.

¡ “ROOT” appears when displaying the root folder name.

Notes on CD/CD Media (CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM)

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

¡ 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/RW discs 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.
¡ Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for handling it.

If you use commercial CDs, they must have either of
these labels shown at right.
Some copy-protected music CDs are not playable.
