Expansion Module (hub unit)
Connection of the Expansion Module (hub unit, CY-EM100N)
allows users to connect up to 4 optional devices shown below.
Wide array of components for system upgrade
Various optional components allow users to obtain availability
of wide range of system upgrade. Upgrading the system
delivers relaxed AV space in a car. For further information, refer
to the separate System Upgrade Guidebook.
Full Digital CD Receiver
The CQ-C8803N uses Radio DSP for digital conversion and
processing of FM/AM signals, and a digital amp to provide
¡ DVD Changer
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.
The optional adapter (Conversion Cable for DVD/CD
Changer: CA-CC30N) allows you to connect the optional
Panasonic DVD changer unit (CX-DH801N).
¡ CD Changer
The optional adapter (Conversion Cable for DVD/CD
Changer: CA-CC30N) allows you to connect the optional
Panasonic CD changer unit (CX-DP880N).
Radio DSP
®
¡ iPod
By digitally converting and processing FM/AM broadcast
signals, this greatly reduces adjacent interference and multipath
distortion.
The optional adapter (Direct Cable for iPod: CA-DC300N)
allows you to connect the optional iPod series.
iPod is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in
the U.S. and other countries.
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.
Sound Control
SQ (Sound Quality)
You have six preset modes (FLAT, ROCK, POP, VOCAL, JAZZ,
CLUB). You can customize your settings for these and save
them for instant recall.

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files
Common
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
mended for high quality sounds.
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and
sound may be skipped.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software and writing
software.
¡ASCII character set and special characters in each lan-
guage can be displayed.

¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or

Notes:
WMA
¡With some software in which MP3/WMA format files
have been encoded, the character information may not
be displayed properly.
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
¡Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file
to enable this unit to play back.
¡Undisplayable characters and symbols will be convert-
ed into an asterisk ( ).
*
Caution:
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in the
MP3/WMA format. This may not only pro-
duce noise from the speaker damage, but
also damage your hearing.

CQ-C8803N
Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-media
¡You are recommended to minimize the chances of
making a disc that contains both CD-DA files and
MP3/WMA files.
¡The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be
assigned to each file depending on the file format.
¡This unit does not have a play list function.
¡Although Multi-session recording is supported, the
use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.

¡Do not scratch on the disc.
¡Do not bend the disc.
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.

Disc cleaning
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.
Do not write on the disc label with a ballpoint
pen or other hard-point pens.
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.
¡Some CD-R/RWs can not be played back successfully thanks to incompatibility among writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.
¡Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
Maintenance
Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure the minimum of maintenance. Use a soft cloth for
routine exterior cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner, or other solvents.
If the fuse blows out, consult your dealer, or your nearest authorized Panasonic Service Centre.
Warning
¡Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the
unit directly without a fuse could cause fire or damage to the unit. If the replaced fuse fails, contact your
nearest authorized Panasonic Service Centre.
