supplied or designated may result in internal damage to the  
unit. Faulty installation may lead to an accident, a malfunc-  
tion or fire.  
Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the

strong vibrations or is unstable.  
Avoid slanted or strongly curved surfaces for installation. If  
the installation is not stable, the unit may fall down while  
driving and this can lead to an accident or injury.

ed.  
Do not connect more than one speaker to one set  
of speaker leads. (except for connecting to a  
tweeter)

sive 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 will be 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 experi-  
ence. For maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer.  
Panasonic is not liable for any problems resulting from  
your own installation of the unit.  
Follow the instructions to install and wire the prod-  
uct.  
Not following the instructions to properly install and wire  
the product could cause an accident or fire.  
Take care not to damage the leads.  
When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent  
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

Notes on Use  
Liquid Crystal Panel  
¡Do not cause impact to the liquid crystal panel.  
¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C  
{32 °F to 104 °F}  
When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the  
image may not appear clearly or may move slowly.  
Also, movement of the image may seem to be out of  
synchronization or the image quality may decline in  
such environments. Note that this is not a malfunction  
or problem.  
¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such  
as those which occur immediately after the car’s air  
conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause  
the inside of the liquid crystal panel to cloud over due  
to water vapor or it may cause condensation (droplets  
of water) to form and, as a result, the panel may not  
work properly. Do not use the unit while these symp-  
toms are in evidence but leave the unit standing for  
about and hour, and then resume or start use.  
4
¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out  
of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.

RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of  
44.1 kHz).

Notes on Discs  
How to hold the disc  
¡Do not touch the underside of the disc.  
Disc insert  
The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery. Therefore,  
when using such a disc for the first time, it may not load  
satisfactorily even when it has been inserted into the  
unit. At a time like this, insert the disc into the unit as far  
as it will go until it is loaded properly.  
¡Do not scratch the disc.  
¡Do not bend disc.  
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.  
43  
Printed side  
¡When inserting a disc into or ejecting and removing  
it from the unit, insert it straight in or eject and  
remove it straight out in parallel with the unit.  
Otherwise, the disc may be scratched or marked in  
the process.  
¡When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on anoth-  
er. Failure to observe this may cause the discs to  
be jammed.  
Do not use discs that fit any of the descriptions given  
below. Using these discs may damage the discs or  
cause the unit to malfunction.  
¡Special discs in a shape which is not round  
Do not leave discs in the following places:

DVD–Rs/RWs  
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW,  
DVD–R/RW discs recorded on CD/DVD recorders (CD-  
R/RW, DVD–R/RW drives), either due to their record-  
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc.  
on the disc surface.  
Protective films or sheets  
Disc accessories (stabiliz-  
ers, etc.)  
¡Damaged or deformed discs

temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music  
CDs. Leaving them inside a car for extended periods  
may damage and make playback impossible.  
¡The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW,  
DVD–R/RW that was made by the combination of writ-  
ing software, a CD/DVD recorder (CD-R/RW,  
DVD–R/RW drives) and a disc if they are incompatible  
with one another.  
Shoddily made discs  
Discs with cracks,  
scratches or parts missing  
¡This player does not play CD-R/RW, DVD–R/RW discs
