ID Code

Prior to operating this unit, it is advisable to assign a 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 can 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 page 57.

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, the 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.

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

¡

Park your car in a safe and pull the side brake (parking brake)
lever before watching the monitor.

¡

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

Note:

Be sure to connect the side brake (parking brake) connection lead. (aInstallation Instructions)

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 forgot 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 press the Touch Panel with hard pointed sticks.
¡

In some cases, noise is generated. It depends on the position or direction of a mobile phone and CB transceiver, etc.
Change the position or direction of the mobile phone and CB transceiver, etc. or keep them away from the unit.

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.

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-SW38

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.)
