EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.

TA: Traffic information from the current and other network stations can be received.

AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated by EON data.

EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations, including that currently tuned in to. For example, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or any other station serving the same program. EON also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick reception.

Emergency Announcement Reception

When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast. If this happens in a mode other than the radio mode (the CD mode, the CD changer mode) or in Muting in the TA mode, "ALARM" blinks on the display.

When RDS CT service is not available, set the clock as follows.

Cautions:

- Check the connectors provided on your car (see note on page 4 and 5) before connecting the system.

- This unit is designed for use in a car having a 12-volt negative ground battery system.

- To prevent damage to the unit, be sure to follow the connection diagram below.

- Strip about 5 mm of the lead ends for connection (only non-ISO connector cords).

- Do not insert the power connector into the unit until the wiring is completed.

- Be sure to insulate any exposed wires to prevent short circuiting with the car chassis. Bundle all cables, and prevent cable terminals from touching any metal parts.

- This unit can be connected to an optional CD changer (CX-DP9061/DP9060EN, CX-DP88N, CX-DP801/DP803EN or CX-DP601EN) and optional extension cord.

- For details consult your nearest authorized Panasonic Dealer.

- For connection to a CD changer, refer to the operating instructions of the CD changer (CX-DP9061/DP9060EN, CX-DP88N, CX-DP801/803EN or CX-DP601EN).

Speaker Connections

Caution: Please follow the instructions given below. Failure to do so will cause damage to the unit and speakers.


PANASONIC CQ-DFX201N - Speaker Connections - 1

  • Use ungrounded speaker only.
  • The maximum speaker output should be 45 W or more. (If used with the optional power amplifier, the speaker output should be higher than the maximum amplifier output.) ● The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 Ω.
  • This unit uses the BTCL circuit, so each speaker should be connected separately using parallel vinyl insulated cords.
  • The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should be kept away (about 30 cm apart) from the antenna and antenna extension cord.

- Never connect the speaker cord to the body of the car.

- Do not use a 3-wire type speaker system having a common earth lead.

- Do not connect more than one speaker to one set of speaker leads.

Fuse

Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the unit directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the unit.

If the fuse replacement fails, contact your nearest authorized Panasonic Service Center.

Maintenance

Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure the minimum of maintenance. Use a soft cloth for routine exterior cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner, or other solvents.
