Full Digital CD Receiver

The CQ-C9800W/C9700W uses Radio DSP for digital conversion and processing of FM/AM signals, and a digital amp to provide amplification of the digital data. With this technology, Panasonic achieves full digital processing of radio and CD signals from input to speaker output. This means faithful reproduction of the original sound.

SQ (Sound Quality)

You have six preset modes (FLAT, POP, ROCK, VOCAL, JAZZ, CLUB). You can customize your settings for these (except FLAT) and save them for instant recall.

SQ9 (9-Band Sound Quality)

Center frequency and level are adjustable in each of nine bands. This lets you fine tune sound quality for each genre to suit car-interior acoustics and your personal preferences. (a page 19)

Fully Motorized Front Panel

A touch is all it takes to slide the front panel down for access to the disc slot. A three-stage tilt function permits viewing angle to be adjusted to 15, 25 or 35 degrees for optimum display visibility.

Radio DSP

By digitally converting and processing FM/AM broadcast signals, this greatly reduces adjacent interference and multipath distortion.

A radio's IF filter has the job of preventing neighboring broadcast frequencies from interfering with reception of your desired station. Panasonic's Radio DSP uses an advanced algorithm to perform this task with digital control. It maintains the optimum balance between noise suppression and sound quality by automatically adjusting the IF filter bandwidth in response to the changing interference characteristics as you drive.

Customizable Graphics

You can customize the background (graphic pattern/still image), opening, and ending screens using your own images stored on CD-R/RW. At last, you can create an original display that’s all yours. (a page 36)
