Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.
More and more radio stations are converting to groundbreaking HD Radio technology, which makes your favorite AM and FM stations sound better than ever. Panasonic's CQ-CB8901U CD receiver includes a built-in HD Radio tuner, so you'll be ready to rock out to incredible reception and improved sound quality from participating stations in no time. No extra gear to install, no extra wires to worry about.
The CQ-CB8901U is also XM-ready, giving you the option of adding 150+ channels of music, news, sports, and more to your entertainment array (XM subscription, tuner, and antenna also required). Whatever you listen to, the on-board amplifier will coax great performances out of all your music, even the MP3 and WMA files you've recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Take charge of the sound with Panasonic's SQ7 tone shaping. It offers six preset sound curves for quick adjustments, and a 7-band equalizer for custom tweaking. Looking for some extra bass support, but don't have a full system? With Super Bass Control Subwoofer (SBC-SW), you can filter out the high frequencies and use your large rear speakers as subs.
Front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs send a strong 5-volt signal to any external amps, while the switchable high- and low-pass filters allow you to contour the receiver's output to fit your system design. Connect a DVD or CD changer for even more musical variety. The dual auxiliary inputs allow you to integrate two external sources into your system.
