Full Digital CD Receiver
Sound Control
The CQ-C9901W/C9801W 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.
