We endeavor to give you the advantages of precise electronic and mechanical engineering, manufactured with carefully selected components, and  
assembled by people who are proud of the reputation their work has built for our company. We know this product will bring you many hours of  
enjoyment, and after you discover the quality, value and reliability we have built into it, you too will be proud to be a member of our family.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or con-  
sequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty  
lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.  
Read the operating instructions for the unit and all other compo-  
nents of your car audio system carefully before using the system.  
They contain instructions about how to use the system in a safe and  
effective manner. Panasonic assumes no responsibility for any prob-  
lems resulting from failure to observe the instructions given in this  
manual.  
This manual uses pictographs to show you how to use the product  
safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper  
connections and operations. The meanings of the pictographs are  
explained below. It is important that you fully understand the mean-  
ings of the pictographs in order to use this manual and the system  
properly.

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.  
Observe the following cautions when using this  
unit.  
Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.  
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic  
conditions while driving.  
This unit is designed for use exclusively in automo-  
biles.

engine turned off.  
Operating the audio system for a long period of time with the  
engine turned off will drain the battery.  
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or excessive  
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 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.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other  
rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product  
develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact your deal-  
er or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then  
write to warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the addresses of the

Caution  
¡ 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.  
¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or  
displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with  
certain writing software or CD recorders.  
¡ The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to  
each file depending on the file format.  
¡ This unit does not have the play list function.  
¡ Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of  
Disc-at-Once is recommended.

Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file name
