Chassis
•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 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.
