New Features

Full Digital CD Receiver

The CQ-C9800N/C9700N 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 13)

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 34)
