the parking brake before watching the display or operating  
the system.  
Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery  
terminal before installation.  
Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal  
connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a  
short circuit.  
Match the polarity of the battery with the (+) and (–) marks  
in the battery case.  
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.  
Replace dead battery as soon as possible.  
Remove the battery from the remote control unit when not  
using it for an extended period of time.  
Insulate the battery (by placing them in a plastic bag or cov-  
ering them with vinyl tape) before disposal or storage.  
Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations.  
Do not disassemble, recharge, heat or short the battery. Do  
not throw a battery into a fire or water.  
Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have  
specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.  
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.  
Observe the following cautions when  
installing.  
Use the proper power supply.  
In case of battery leakage  
This product is designed for operation with a negative  
grounded 12 V DC battery system. Never operate this prod-  
uct with other battery systems, especially a 24 V DC battery  
system.  
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.  
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.  
Never use safety-related components for installa-  
tion, 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.  
Thoroughly wipe the battery liquid off the battery case and  
insert new battery.  
If any part of your body or clothing comes into contact with  
battery liquid, wash it with plenty of water.  
If battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, wash  
them with plenty of water and get immediate medical atten-  
tion.  
Keep batteries and insulation film out of reach of  
infants.  
Batteries and insulation film can be ingested, so keep them  
out of the reach of infants. If an infant ingests a battery or  
insulation film, please seek immediate medical attention.  
Protect the Deck Mechanism.  
Do not insert any foreign objects into the slot of this unit.  
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, gaso-  
line tank, and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole  
from outside if possible.  
Take care not to damage the leads.  
Do not disassemble or modify the unit.  
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 sharp  
metal edges, protect the leads by winding them with vinyl  
tape or similar protection.  
Do not disassemble, modify the unit or attempt to repair the  
product yourself. If the product needs to be repaired, consult  
your dealer or an authorized Panasonic Service Center.  
Never install the product in a location where it inter-  
Do not use the unit when it is out of order.  
If the unit is out of order (no power, no sound) or in an  
abnormal state (has foreign objects in it, is exposed to  
water, is smoking, or smells), turn it off immediately and  
consult your dealer.  
The remote control unit should not lie about in the  
car.  
If the remote control unit lies about, it could fall on the floor  
while driving, get wedged under the brake pedal, and lead to  
a traffic accident.  
Refer fuse replacement to qualified service person-  
nel.  
When the fuse blows out, eliminate the cause and have it  
replaced with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified  
service engineer. Incorrect replacement of the fuse may lead  
to smoke, fire, and damage to the product.  
feres 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.  
Use the designated parts and tools for installation.  
Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools  
to install the product. The use of parts other than those sup-  
plied or designated may result in internal damage to the unit.  
Faulty installation may lead to an accident, a malfunction or  
fire.  
Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the  
unit.  
Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to  
overheat and will result in fire or other damage.  
Do not install the product where it is exposed to  
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.  
In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping  
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 circuit-  
ing.

¡ If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA files,

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files  
Common  
¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended  
for high quality sound.  
¡ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended  
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound  
may be skipped.  
¡ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding  
circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions of your  
own encoding software and writing software.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs  
¡ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to  
their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.  
¡ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside  
a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.  
¡ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder (CD-  
R/RW drive) and the discs.  
¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.  
¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.  
¡ Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for handling it.  
Caution  
¡ This face plate is not waterproof. Do not expose it to water or excessive moisture.  
¡ Do not remove the face plate while driving your car.  
¡ Do not place the face plate on the dashboard or nearby areas where the temperature rises high.  
¡ Do not touch the contacts on the face plate and on the main unit, since this may result in poor electrical contact.  
¡ If dirt or other foreign substances get on the contacts, wipe them off with a clean and dry cloth.  
¡ To avoid damaging the face plate, do not push it down or place objects on it while it is open.
