CQ-C9800/9700U CQ-C9800/9700U 3 E N G L I S H Features Full Digital CD Receiver The CQ-C9800U/CQ-C9700U 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 6 preset modes (FLAT, POP, ROCK, VOCAL, JAZZ, CLUB). You can customize your settings for these (except FLAT) and save them for instant recall. System Upgrade CD Changer Control You can connect the optional CD changer unit. For details, refer to the operating instructions on the CD changer unit. CQ-C9800U CQ-C9700U 2 CD changers (option) can be controlled with this unit. To connect 2 CD changers to it, the dual CD changer selector CA-CD55U (option) is necessary. E N G L I S H SQ9 (9-Band Sound Quality) Center frequency and level are adjustable in each of 9 bands. This lets you fine tune sound quality for each genre to suit car-interior acoustics and your personal preferences (page 46). 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 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. Audio Settings Dynamic Control (Bass/treble) This unit uses a special filter to accentuate the feeling of ambiance. This filter serves to bring out the feeling of ambiance embedded in the music and reproduce an expressive sound quality without compromising the sound in the midrange. Further, by setting the bass and treble, the bass and treble can be accentuated so you can create the kind and quality of sound that you really like. Subwoofer (option) Dual CD changer selector (CA-CD55U, option) Note: This unit does not support Sirius satellite radio. You cannot connect CD changer and Sirius receiver using the dual CD changer selector (CA-CD55U, option). Stereo power CD changer amplifier (option) (CX-DP880U, option) Maximum Power Output CQ-C9800U CQ-C9700U 70 W 60 W Position setting You can adjust the timing at which the sound from the speakers reaches you at the position where you are sitting in the car so that you can reproduce the sound field which is tailored to this position. 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.
