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. ID code can not be set with two or three digits.)
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 whom the unit belongs to.

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 28 to 29.

ID Code Input

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

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

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. In case that you can not operate the unit because of forgetting the ID code, please consult your nearest
Panasonic Servicenter.

¡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 become deteriorate in low tempera­ture. (practicable temperature: 0 °C - 40 °C)

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

If you touch the LCD, your fingerprints will be 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 cellular phone.

Change the position or direction of the cellular phone, or keep it away from the unit.

This system is designed so that you can not see pic­ture from VCR, DVD player, and other devices while
you are driving.

Notes:

¡This adjustment is common to VTR1 and VTR2.
¡You can not change the aspect in the menu screen and a screen in the CD mode. These are fixed to “Full”.
¡The “Zoom” and “Just” screens do not apply to car navigation images.
¡When the rear view camera is in operation with the transmission gear shift in the reverse position, the image is

shown on the “Full” screen only.

¡In some cases, the picture looks different from the original one due to your selection of aspect.

Press [ASP] (ASPECT) on the display unit or press [A] (ASPECT) on the remote control to change the aspect
ratio as follows.

Normal

¡The conventional display image has a 4 to 3 ratio of horizontal to

vertical.

¡In this case, a blank area remains on the right and left sides of the

display.

Full

¡The screen is extended horizontally as a whole to the aspect ratio

of 16 to 9.

¡The extension ratio is the same at any point of the screen.

Zoom

¡The screen is fully extended at the normal aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
¡The top and bottom of the screen are slightly cut.

Just

¡The screen is extended horizontally to the aspect ratio of 16 to 9.
¡The extension ratio increases toward the right and left ends of the

screen.

Cautions:

¡This is to remind you that compression or extension of the screen using the aspect ratio (screen mode) chang-

ing function of this product for commercial purpose of profit making or viewing / listening by the public could
infringe on the rights of the author protected by the copyright law.

¡If you expand normal picture (4 to 3) by using “Just”, “Zoom” or “Full” aspect to the full of the screen, you

might not see the periphery of the picture, or you might see deformed picture. Therefore, use the “Normal”
mode when you see original picture in deference to picture-making purpose.

❏ Before Installation

Warning

¡Do not install the monitor in a location which

¡Never use bolts or nuts from the vehicle's safety

devices for installation. If bolts or nuts from the
steering wheel, brakes or other safety devices are
used for installation of the monitor, it may cause
an accident.

¡Attach the wires correctly. If the wiring is not cor-

rectly performed, it may cause a fire or an acci­dent. In particular, be sure to run and secure the
lead wire so that it does not get tangled with a
screw or the moving portion of a seat rail.

specified fuse. If a fuse other than the specified
fuse is used, it may cause a fire or an accident.

¡Do not damage the cord by pinching or pulling it.

Do not pull or damage the cord. If the cord is not
treated properly, it will short out or be severed and
may cause a fire or an accident.

The first step in installation is to identify all the car
wires you’ll use when hooking up your LCD monitor.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This
will help avoid confusion when making connections
later.

Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
display unit until you have made all connections. If
there are no plastic caps on the hooking wires, insu­late all exposed leads with electrical tape until you
are ready to use them. Identify the leads in the fol­lowing order.

Installation Guide (continued)

Power Lead

If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one :
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug
(leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you
can work with individual leads. Turn the ignition on
to the accessory position, and ground one lead of
the test bulb to the chassis.

Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet that
causes the test bulb to light.

Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also
turns off and on, that outlet is the car power lead.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit :
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for
accessory (ACC) or ignition (IGN).

Battery Lead

If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to
locate the car's battery lead. Otherwise you may
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead pro­vides continuous power to maintain a clock, memory
storage, or other functions.)

If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit :
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.

❏ Connect All Leads

Now that you have identified all the wires in the car,
you're ready to begin connecting them to the LCD
monitor wires. The connection diagram (B page

42) shows the proper connections and color coding
of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make tempo­rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape
to cover all exposed wires.

Important: Connect the red power lead last, after
you have made and insulated all other connections.

Ground

Connect the black ground lead of the power connec­tor to the metal car chassis.

Battery

Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.

Equipment

Connect any optional equipment such as an DVD
video player according to the instructions furnished
with the equipment. Read the operating and installa­tion instructions of any equipment you will connect
to this unit.

Power

Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio
wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the LCD monitor functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro­ceed to the final installation.

❏ Final Installation

Lead Connections

Connect all wires, making sure that each connection
is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and
fasten them with tape so they won't fall down later.
Now insert the LCD monitor into the mounting collar.

Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you’re ready to enjoy your new LCD monitor.

❏ Final Checks

1. Make sure that all wires are properly connect­ed and insulated.

2. Make sure that the LCD monitor is securely
held in the mounting collar.

3. Tur n on the ignition to check the unit for prop­er operation.

If you have difficulties, consult your nearest autho­rized professional installer for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Preliminary Steps

Check and take steps as described in the tables below.

If You Suspect Something Wrong

Immediately switch power off.
