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.

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)

Radio DSP

By digitally converting and processing FM/AM broadcast

signals, this greatly reduces adjacent interference and

multipath distortion.

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 18)

¡Safety Information

¡Before Reading These Instructions

¡Service and Warranty

¡Features

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.
