ID Code

Prior to operating this unit, it is a advisable to assign your 4-digit ID code for security. (Make sure to use four digits for ID
code.)
Once the ID code has been set, the unit cannot be operated if the main power supply is disconnected then re-connected. It
is electronically locked so that a thief could not use the stolen unit unless that person knows the code you have set.
The ID code operation must be performed only by the person to whom the unit belongs.

Generally, it is not necessary to enter the ID code each time when using the unit if it has never been disconnected from the
main power supply (car battery). For the ID code setting procedures, see pages 40 to 41.

ID Code Input

Enter the ID code after turning on the power and activating the display.

Note: When you fail in entering the ID code, a screen on the right is displayed and
the unit beeps three times. Enter a correct ID code.
If you fail to enter the correct ID code three times consecutively, the power is turned
off. Turn on the power again and enter a correct ID code in this case.

This system is designed so that you cannot see
the moving picture while you are driving.

¡

Park your car in a safe place with pulling the side brake (parking
brake) lever before watching the monitor.

¡

A rear monitor (option) displays moving picture while driving.

11

Note:

Be sure to connect the side brake (parking brake) connection lead. (apage 82)

Success

Caution: Record your registered ID code and keep it in a secure location. If you forget it, you will be unable
to use the unit. If you cannot operate the unit because you forget the ID code, please consult your nearest Panasonic
Servicenter.

Cautions:

¡Picture might not be displayed, or it might take more time than usual to display picture in low temperature.

Also, movement of picture might become labored, or picture quality might deteriorate in low temperature.
[practicable temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)]

¡Do not touch the LCD (liquid crystal display).

If you touch the LCD, your fingerprints are conspicuous because the surface of the LCD was specially
processed.

¡

In some cases, noise is generated. It depends on the position or direction of a mobile phone and a CB transiever,

etc. Change the position or direction of the mobile phone and a CB transiever, etc. or keep them away from the unit.

Power amplifier

Recommended system: 5.1-channel Surround System

This unit has a built-in 5-channel amplifier. The procedure for setting up a 5.1-channel surround
system in order to play DVD software in a way that creates a “you are there” feel in a car is
described below.

Front Speakers: CJ-DVD177

Use the left and right front speakers (such as
speakers that are built into the front door).

Center Speaker: EAB-CF2

Install in the middle of the dashboard, near the
monitor.

¡The supplied speaker cannot be used as the

center speaker.

Surround Speakers: CJ-SS162

Use the left and right rear speakers (such as speakers
that are built into the rear door or the rear deck)

Subwoofer: CJ-HD302

Because the audio imaging is not nearly as dependent
on the position where the subwoofer is installed as it
is with the other speakers, the subwoofer can be
installed anywhere that is convenient. (A separate
power amplifier for the subwoofer is needed.)

¡Details on wiring:

a page 80-81

¡Speaker settings:

a page 54-59

About Rear Monitor (a page 66)

You can have different picture and sound at the front
monitor and rear monitor at the same time.

¡You can mute the sounds from the rear speakers if necessary.

(Private Mode a page 67)

Note: Even if you are using this unit without installing a center speaker, surround speakers, or a subwoofer, it is still nec-

essary to make the speaker settings in order to adjust the sound balance.

CD / MP3 Player (continued)

This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable).

¡It is recommended that you set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.
¡Bit rate 8 kbps of MPEG-2 and sampling frequency 16 kHz of MPEG-2 can not be reproduced.
¡VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not supported.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to the user

manual of your encoding software.

■ Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file

¡Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc. If many folders or files other than MP3s

are recorded on a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

¡Use ISO 9660 file system (Extension of the ISO 9660 file systems are included.) (a page 33). APPLE HFS file

system is not supported. If they do not conform to ISO 9660 file system, the file may not play normally, or the file

or folder names may not be displayed correctly.

¡Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name. A file with a different file name extension or none

at all will not play.

¡Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended. Make sure to close the

session when you finished recording on a disc.

¡A disc recorded by the packet writing software are not supported.
¡A playlist function is not supported. Record files and folders in the order in which you want them to be played.

Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a prefix in the range of “01” - “99”, etc. to the
file name. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.

Notes:

¡You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writing

softwares or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).

¡If a disc contains both MP3 and CD-DA, only CD-DA data is reproduced properly. (MP3 files are played but no

sound is output).

■ Recording MP3 files on a CD-R/RW

What is MP3

MP3, short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 LSF (Low Sampling Frequency), is a standard for compress­ing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media. It is one of the audio compression systems covered by
MPEG's (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes
in a song without detracting from the sound quality by eliminating big sound waves within the sound range that is imper­ceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of
around 10. This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The figures refer
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.)

Points to remember when recording an MP3 disc

Warning: Never assign the “.mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may produce
noise from the speakers and cause speaker damage and can damage your hearing.
