Cautions:

  1. Before removing the removable face plate, make sure the power is off.
  2. This removable face plate is not water-proof. Do not expose it to water or excessive moisture.
  3. Do not remove the removable face plate while driving your car.
  4. Do not place the removable face plate on the dashboard or nearby areas where the temperature rises to high levels.
  5. Do not touch the contacts on the removable face plate or on the main unit, since this may result in poor electrical contacts.
  6. If dirt or other foreign substances get on the contacts, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth.

Electrical Connection

  • This unit can be connected to an optional CD changer (CX-DP88N). For details consult your nearest Panasonic Service center.
  • For connection to a CD changer, refer to the operating instructions of the CD Changer (CX-DP88N).

Caution:

  • To prevent damage to the unit, be sure to follow the connection diagram below.
  • Remove the covering of the leads about 5 mm long from their end before connecting.
  • Do not insert the power connector into the unit until the wiring is completed.
  • Be sure to insulate any exposed wires from a possible short-circuit from the car chassis. Bundle all cables and keep cable terminals free from touching any metal parts.

Speaker Connections

Cautions:

  1. Use ungrounded speakers only.
  2. The speakers to be used with this unit should be able to handle more than 40 W of audio power. If an optional amplifier is used, the speakers should be able to handle the maximum output power of the amplifier. Use of speakers with small input ratings can cause damage to the speakers.
  3. The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 ohms. If the impedance is too large or too small, it affects the output and may cause damage to the speakers or this unit.
  4. Do not use 3-wire type speaker system having a common earth lead. Never connect the speaker cord to the body of the car. This unit uses the BTCL circuit, so each speaker should be connected separately using parallel vinyl insulated cords.
  5. The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should be kept away (about 30 cm apart) from the antenna and antenna extension cord.
  6. Follow the connection diagram below carefully. Failure to do so may cause damage to both unit and speakers.

- Unit will be damaged if speakers (Front, Rear) are not connected properly.
