New Features

Full Digital CD Receiver

The CQ-C9800W/C9700W 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)

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 19)

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.

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.

Customizable Graphics

You can customize the background (graphic pattern/still

image), opening, and ending screens using your own

images stored on CD-R/RW. At last, you can create an

original display that’s all yours. (a page 36)

MP3/WMA Player

CQ-C9800W/C9700W

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media

Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The

former is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts

Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft

Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can

record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single

CD media (This figures refer to data recorded on a

650MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps

and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).

Notes:

¡ MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not sup-

plied with this unit.

¡ CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.

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.

MP3

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

more” and “fixed”.

WMA

¡ 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.

Notes:

¡ With some software in which MP3/WMA format files

have been encoded, the character information may not

be displayed properly.

¡ 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

produce noise from the speaker damage, but

also damage your hearing.

¡ You are recommended to minimize the chances of

making a disc that contains both CD-DA files and

MP3/WMA files.

¡ If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA

files, the songs may not play in the intended order,

or some songs may not play at all.

¡ When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same

disc, use different folders for each data.

¡ Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and

unnecessary folder on a disc.

¡ The name of MP3/WMA file should be added by rules

as shown in the following descriptions and also com-

ply with the rules of each file system.

¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files

or displaying the information of MP3/WMA files

recorded with certain writing software or CD

recorders.

¡ The file extension ".mp3" or ".wma" should be assigned

to each file depending on the file format.

¡ This unit does not have the play list function.

¡ Although Multi-session recording is supported, the

use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.
