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 equipped 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.

CQ-C8405N

❑

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.

❑

Sound Control

SRS and SQ that provide users with simple adjustment of sound quality are described on this page. Audio Setting (a page 30) allows users to adjust each speaker and the optional subwoofer in more detail (regarding BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, FADER, SUB.W, LPF, HPF, REAR).

SRS WOW™ is 3-D sound technology based on the HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) theory. Unlike conventional audio systems, “natural 3-D sound field”, “rich bass”, and “crisp and clear sound” can be obtained at the same time in a wide area in front of speakers.

Holding down [VOL] (SRS WOW) for 2 sec. or more toggles SRS WOW on and off.
