Full Digital CD Receiver

The CQ-C8803U 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.
