<Wrong> ■

Use ungrounded speaker only.

The  maximum  speaker  input  should  be  45  W  or  more.  (If  used  with  the  optional 

power  amplifier,  the  speaker  input  should  be  higher  than  the  maximum  amplifier 

output.)

The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 

Q..

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.

Electrical Connections

Preparation:

• This unit can be connected to an optional CD changer (CX-DP88U).

• For connection to a CD changer, refer to the operating instructions of the CD Changer (CX-DP88U).

Caution:

• This product is designed to operate with a 12 V DC, negative ground battery system.

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

• Strip about 5mm 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 from a possible short-circuit from the car chassis. Bundle all cables and 

keep cable terminals free from touching any metal parts.

• Remember, if your car has a drive computer or a navigation computer, the data of its memory may be erased when 

the battery terminals are disconnected.
