Enhanced Other Network (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights 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.
(Even when in CD mode, MP3 mode, CD changer mode
and AUX mode.). During receiving the emergency
announcement, “ALARM” blinks on the display.
Note: Emergency announcements are broadcast at the
TA volume level. (a Page 12)

MP3 Player
(continued)
Caution: Never assign the “.mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may not only
produce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.
This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable).
¡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 can not be reproduced.
¡If set to VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the file playing time may not be displayed correctly, and the bit rate value on the
AUDIO indicator may flicker.
¡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.
■ Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file
¡Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc. If many folders or files other than MP3s
are recorded on a disc, it may take up to 150 seconds 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.) APPLE HFS file system is not
supported. If they do not conform to ISO 9660 file system, the file may not play normally, or the file or folder
names may not be displayed correctly.
¡Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name. A file with a different file name extension or none
at all will not play.
¡Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended. Make sure to close the
session when you finished recording on a disc.
¡ID3Tag character information is not displayed.
A file in which character information was recorded by use of ID3Tag
2.0 or later version may not be reproduced normally. For example, the file playing time may not be displayed correctly.
¡Packet writing software is not supported.
¡A playlist function is not supported. Record files and folders in the order in which you want them to be played.
Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a prefix in the range of “01” - “99”, etc. to the
file name. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.
Note: You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing softwares or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).
■ Recording MP3 files on a CD-R/RW
What is MP3
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 systems covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio
compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without detracting from the sound quality by
eliminating big sound waves within the sound range that is imperceptible 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 fixed
bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

Caution:
Please follow the instructions given below. Failure to do so will cause damage to the unit and speakers.
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 replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest authorized Panasonic Service Center.
¡Use ungrounded speaker only.
¡The maximum speaker output should be 50 W or more. (If used with
the optional power amplifier, the speaker output should be higher than
