Features
Hi-Fi-Grade Data Transmission
The Digital Noise Isolation Architecture reduces noise and jitter to the lowest possible levels. The Optimally
Activated Circuit System sends high-quality music data to the player. For a USB-DAC, the Low Noise USB
Transfer reduces the processing load on the player side and ensures stable USB output power to achieve
extremely accurate data transfers.
Bit-Perfect CD Ripping
Bit-Perfect Ripping not only readjusts read error characteristics and performs read retries, but also carries out
comparative verification using correct hash values. The internal CD drive is manufactured entirely in-house. It is
enclosed in a silent shelter and mounted at the centre of the casing. This Rigidly-Mounted Sheltered Drive
minimises the generation of vibrations and noise and enables accurate reading of CD data.
Usability Optimised for Network Audio
The ST-G30L features a user interface that allows a variety of operations, such as managing a music library from a
smartphone app, editing the tags and settings of various parameters, thus providing comfortable operation without
using a PC. It lets you immerse yourself fully in the music. The internal storage is removable to allow for future
upgrades.

∫ SSD (Solid State Drive)
≥ Panasonic cannot provide information about the
compatibility of SSDs and recommended SSDs
except for those recommended by Panasonic.
SSD is a precision device sensitive to vibrations,
shocks, and dust.
Depending on the installation environment or
handling of the SSD, it may sustain partial damage,
or in the worst case, lose its importing and
transmission capabilities.
In particular, do not expose the SSD to vibrations and
shocks or remove the storage tray while this unit is in
operation. Please also keep in mind that an accidental
event such as a power failure may cause damage to
the content being imported or transmitted.
SSD is for temporary storage.
Use the SSD of this unit for temporary storage of
music files. We recommend that you regularly back
up the music files that are important to you.
¢
Panasonic is not liable for any losses of or damage
to music files arising out of any defects.
Make a backup if anything seems wrong with
the SSD.
Defects in the SSD may cause abnormal noise
continuously while importing, transmission or a
backup is in progress, or noise in the audio.
Continued use of the SSD in such conditions may
deteriorate its performance and eventually make it
impossible to use it again.
If you encounter such problems, back up your data
to a USB device as soon as possible, and request a
repair.
≥ It is not possible to recover content (data)
imported on a malfunctioning SSD.
¢ For details, refer to the user guide for “Technics
Music App“.
∫ Recommended SSD
≥ Use a recommended SSD. You can check our
latest catalogues or website for information on
our recommended SSDs.
www.technics.com
∫ Notes on the installation and removal
of the SSD
≥ Panasonic cannot be held liable for malfunction or
damage resulting from the use of a non-
recommended SSD or improper installation or
removal. Check the type of the SSD and the
instructions for installing and removing it in
advance, and attach it correctly.
≥ Please note that sound quality may change even if
you replace the SSD with one that is
recommended by Panasonic according to the
instructions provided by Panasonic.
≥ Panasonic cannot be held liable for the loss of
data resulting from malfunctions or for
compensation for data, losses or any direct or
indirect damage resulting from improper
installation. Please also note that this provision
also applies when the SSD is sent in for repair.
≥ We recommend creating a backup before
replacing the SSD.
∫ Notes on handling
Condensation
If, for example, condensation forms on the SSD
after it is suddenly brought into a warm room, leave
it without installing it to the main unit until it adjusts
to the ambient temperature of the room (about 2
to 3 hours).
Storage location
Do not place or store in the following locations:
≥ Dusty locations
≥ Hot locations
≥ Locations with drastic temperature changes
≥ Humid locations
≥ Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Locations where static electricity or electromagnetic
≥
waves are generated (these may damage the
imported content that is important to you)
