Caution:  
Not all CD media containing MP3 data will play back normally. For details see Notes on MP3.  
Only 5z (12 cm) CD, CD-DA data recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs, MP3 data recorded CD media (CD-  
ROM, CD-R, CD-RW) are available for this unit.  
(page 42)

If a disc contains both CD-DA and MP3 data, only one type of data will be played back. For example, if  
the disc starts with CD-DA data, it will be recognized as an ordinary music CD, if it starts with an MP3 le,  
it will be recognized as an MP3.  
Disc Insert and Playback  
1 Open the front panel.  
Refer to page 51 about notes on CD-Rs/RWs.  
Refer to page 42 about notes on MP3.  
To avoid damaging the front panel, do not push it down or place objects on it while it is open.  
Do not use irregular shaped discs.

Note:  
When you insert a CD media containing MP3 les (CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW) into the slot, this player will au-  
tomatically enter MP3 mode and start playing MP3 data on the disc.  
A directory is interpreted as a folder in these instructions.  
Note:  
2 Insert the disc.  
Loading a disc when the power is off allows the  
power to be turned on.  
It may take some time to distinguish CD-DA and  
MP3 before playback starts.  
If you record too many folders and MP3 les  
onto a disc, it may take some time before play-  
back starts.  
The display changes as shown below.  
Playback will start automatically when an  
MP3 le has been recognized on the disc.

This unit counts the number of folders irrespec-  
tive of the presence or absence of MP3 le.  
(Example: there is no MP3 le in a root folder as  
shown in the drawing, but a folder number 001”  
is given. In fact, there is no MP3 le to repro-  
duce. Therefore, the next folder is automatically  
selected.)  
The writing software sometimes changes the  
order of folders and les on a disc, so the order  
may differ from what you specied. For details  
refer to the user manual of your writing software.  
If you record too many folders or les other than  
MP3s onto a disc, it may take some time before  
playback starts, and you may have difficulties  
using fast forward and fast reverse.  
2 Press [<] (eject) to stop MP3 play and eject  
the disc.  
Note:  
Ejecting the disc when the unit is in the MP3  
player mode allows the power to be turned off.  
Playback order varies with players even if the  
same disc is loaded.

Caution:  
This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable)  
and CD-RWs (rewritable).  
Never assign the .mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may not only pro-  
duce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

What is MP3?  
Note:  
MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer-3, is a standard for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs  
and similar media. It is one of the audio compression schemes covered by MPEGs (Motion Picture Experts  
Group) digital audio compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without  
hurting the sound quality by means such as eliminating big sound waves within in the sound range that is im-  
perceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD  
by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or  
CD-RW. (The figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a xed bit rate of 128 kbps and a  
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)  
MP3 encode software and writing software are not supplied to this model.  
Maximum Number of Files/Folders  
Maximum number of trees: 8  
Maximum number of files/folders: 254 (filesifolders. Root folder is not included.)  
Note:  
If the total of files and folders exceeds 254, successful playback may not be performed.

Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file  
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “ 128 kbps or more” and “ Fixed” .  
Bit rate 8 kbps of MPEG-2 and sampling frequency 16 kHz of MPEG-2 cannot be reproduced.  
If set to VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the file playing time may not be displayed correctly.  
The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to  
the user manual of your encoding software.  
Name file and folders in accordance with the standard of each file  
system. Refer to the instructions of writing software for details.  
This player can display file names of up to 31 ASCII character set in  
scroll mode.  
*Up to 15 letters can be displayed when scrolling in the Joliet sys-  
tems. According to the standard, á, “ç, etc. can be used.  
Recording MP3 files on CD-R/RW  
Romeo  
Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc.  
If too many folders or files other than MP3s are recorded on a disc, it may take some time before playback  
starts, and you may have difficulties using fast forward and fast reverse.  
Use ISO 9660 file system (Extension of the ISO 9660 file systems are included.) (page 43). APPLE HFS  
file system is not supported.

Maintenance  
Rough edges  
A new disc may have rough edges on its inner and outer  
perimeter. These may cause malfunction.  
Remove the rough edges using a pencil, etc.  
Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure a minimum of maintenance. Use a dry, a soft cloth for  
routine exterior cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner or other solvents.  
Product Servicing  
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.  
If the suggestions in the charts do not solve the problem, we recommend that you take it to your nearest au-  
thorized Panasonic Servicenter. The product should be serviced only by a qualified technician.  
Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or ball-  
point pen stroke.  
Replacing the Fuse  
Notes on CD-Rs/RWs  
Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or con-  
necting the unit directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the stereo unit.  
You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), ei-  
ther due to their recording characteristics or dirt, ngerprints, 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 them and make playback impossible.  
The unit may not successfully play back a CD-R/RW that was made by the combination of writing software, a  
CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incompatible one another.  
If the replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest Panasonic Servicenter for service.  
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 contains other than CD-DA or MP3 data (video CD, etc.).  
Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit:  
Go to the fuse block and nd the fuse port for the  
battery, usually marked BAT.  
Identify All Leads  
The rst step in installation is to identify all the car  
wires youll use when hooking up your sound sys-  
tem.

WARNING  
This installation information is designed for experienced installers and is not in-  
tended for non-technical individuals. It does not contain warnings or cautions of po-  
tential dangers involved in attempting to install this product.  
Speakers  
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 con-  
nections later.  
Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads  
for each speaker which are usually color coded.  
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the  
speaker they are connected with is to test the leads  
using a 1.5 V AA battery as follows.  
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and  
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will  
hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers if you  
are holding a speaker lead.  
Any attempt to install this product in a motor car by anyone other than qualified in-  
staller could cause damage to the electrical system and could result in serious per-  
sonal injury or death.  
Note:  
Do not connect the power connector to the stereo  
unit until you have made all connections. If there  
are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires,  
insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape until  
you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in  
the following order.  
Install the unit in the dashboard.  
Check the operation of the unit.  
If you encounter problems, please consult your  
nearest professional installer.  
Installation Hardware  
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until  
you have located all the speaker leads. When you  
label them, include the speaker location for each.
