I've just bought an '87 ES and it has this great radio fitted. The information on the main club site isn't quite right as it stated two outputs. It has 4 as it has fader control from front to rear.
What I am most interested in is the two connectors on the rear which I assume are to connect an amplifier and maybe an equaliser. They look like DIN plugs/sockets. I am hoping that if I can find the manual I can work out how to hack in a DAB radio but keep this very cool looking head unit in and use an external amplifier too.
It sounds surprisingly good.
So:
1) Does anyone have a manual for it?
2) Does anyone know about the DIN connections?
3) Does anyone know who manufactured this? It says made in Japan on it. If I can work out who made it, their equipment is probably compatible with this.

Mine had a paper sticker on top, somewhat faded but I remember clearly that it had Panasonic written on it.
I'm afraid you can only get sound from 4 speakers if you connect an amplifier, the radio itself only outputs 2.
Yes, the connectors on the back are for an amplifier and equaliser but I have no clue about the pinouts.

Thank you so much for the information. I will try and get a vintage Panasonic amp on eBay and see if it will talk to the head unit.
