Expansion Module
Panasonic opens the door to connectivity with the launch of the revolutionary Expansion Module. Ever
since we first brought multimedia entertainment into the car cabin, consumers have been saying things
like, "I wish I could show you what's in my camcorder," and "If only I could plug in a real game console".
More recently, "It would be great to access the thousands of tunes in my iPod
Panasonic has been listening. The industry-first Expansion Module is our easy and elegant solution to
all your wishes. Once connected to any of our new top-of-the-line head units, the Expansion Module
becomes your in-car hub. Imagine! Plug in and play mini-DV tapes over our new overhead monitor. Plug
in and play the latest video game titles on a state-of-the-art console. Plug in a DVD changer and play your
movie collection. And of course, it is also ready for the ubiquitous iPod
huge library of music, audio books and podcasts.

WMA, MP3, and Smart File Management
Play music stored in the popular MP3 ( MPEG Layer-3 ) audio compression format or the new Windows
Media Audio ( WMA ) – the advanced format that delivers near-CD audio quality in only half the space of
an MP3 file. Panasonic lets you do both! MP3 and WMA music files can be downloaded from online
music stores via the Internet or "ripped" from your CD library. Then just create a custom disc of your
favourite tracks by burning them onto a CD-R or CD-RW for easy loading in the Panasonic car audio sys-
tem. Of course if you have our new iPod
Your CD-R or CD-RW can be packed with up to 20 CDs of songs, giving you access to a vast selection of
music. The familiar PC-like interface of Panasonic's powerful file management system makes it easy to
navigate through a maximum of 999 files and folders per disc. Navigation of the tree of folders and files
is simple, and the user can instantly call up the display of ID tag information such as artist names and
track titles for quick confirmation. The system also offers one-touch selection of six convenient Play
modes: Random, Repeat, Scan, Folder Random, Folder Repeat, and Folder Scan.
