Full Digital CD Receiver

The CQ-C9901U/C9801U/C9701U 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.

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.

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.

256x64 pixel 512-color OEL display
(CQ-C9901U only)

Multicolored expression can be achieved thanks to OEL
display. You can use this unit in your original way in
collaboration with the customization function.
