Features

3-D Dot Matrix Display: This advanced full-dot LCD + CFL technology enables 4-level gradation for remarkably smooth and attractive display capability. A dedicated high-capacity display memory allows 3-D animations and richly detailed setup screens, and the CFL backlight means it's super-bright.

Display/Button Illumination: The display is illuminated in blue and the buttons are backlit with blue illumination.

Day & Night Faceplate: During day light conditions, the faceplate is a solid champagne color. At night, or whenever it's dark in your vehicle, the faceplate is illuminated by blue back lighting and sky blue accents.

Super Bright Display: With a Super Bright Display, this unit provides high visibility even in daylight, thanks to its CFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlight. There's even a 3-step dimmer so you can adjust the brightness to match day and night driving conditions. In addition, you can adjust the display contrast from 1 to 5 for optimum readability.

Display Modes: You can select from the following 6 display modes: A (moving geometric objects), B (moving geometric objects), C (switches between two people dancing and flowers swaying in the wind), D (birds soaring through space), E (moving cityscape), or STD (spectrum analyzer). 

MOSFET50 Amplifier: This receiver is equipped with a 50 watts x 4 (peak) MOSFET amplifier for low distortion and high power output.

1-Bit 4-DAC System: This unit uses four 1-bit digital to analog converters.

Multi-Stage Noise Shaping: This technology helps prevent zero-cross distortion and non-linear distortion. It requantizes the CD data, "shaping" it to move digital noise out of the audible range. Pulse width modulation (PWM) then reconstructs the analog waveform with true precision.

Anti-Shock Floating Mechanism: To help assure high signal reading accuracy, the optical deck of this unit is mounted on the chassis via three silicone/rubber dampers, creating a floating suspension. Panasonic uses a side-mounting system to resist horizontal as well as vertical vibrations.

S-HDB (Super High Definition Bass): This feature accentuates bass output even at high volumes. This is different from ordinary loudness controls that often become ineffective when volume is raised. You may select "BOOM" (strong bass boost), "TIGHT" (moderately emphasized bass) or "FLAT" (S-HDB off).

Alphatuner V: The tuner is designed to help suppress multi-path distortion and reduce the problem of radio signal reflections in metropolitan areas. It also features increased sensitivity for weak signal areas.

CD Compatibility: This unit will play prerecorded CDs and finalized CD-R discs, but it will not play CD-RW discs.

Subwoofer Preamp Outputs: The non-fading subwoofer preamp outputs have a selectable low-pass filter that may be set to 80Hz or 120Hz. In addition, the subwoofer volume level is independently adjustable from 0 to 8.

Auxiliary Input: A set of female RCA jacks is provided to allow the connection of a portable audio source. Just connect your portable cassette, MD or MP3 player to this unit, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in your mobile audio system. The jacks are on a 6" long pigtail attached to the back of the unit.

Blinking Security Indicator: When the face is removed, a red LED blinks on the front panel of the radio. The security indicator can be deactivated.

Remote Control

Cosmetics: The top of the remote is blue with silver button accents and some of the button labels are white. The sides and back of the remote are black.

Buttons:

• Power/Source: Turns power on/off and allows you to select the desired source.
• Volume Up/Down: Two buttons denoted by upward/downward pointing arrows that turn volume up/down.
• Numeric Buttons (1-6): These buttons allow you to directly access the tuner presets.
• RAND/4: In CD mode, this button cycles through the random play modes.
• SCAN/5: In CD mode, this button cycles through the scan play modes.
• REP/6: In CD mode, this button cycles through the repeat play modes.
• Menu/SEL: Allows you to access the menu system.
• Directional Arrows (up/down/left/right): In radio mode, these buttons are used to manual and seek tune radio stations. In CD mode, these buttons are used for track selection and track search. In addition, these buttons allow you to navigate the menu system.
• Band: Cycles through the tuner bands and selects the current setting in the menu system.
• Mute: Attenuates the audio output.
• DISP: Cycles through the display modes and allows you to exit the menu system.

Dimensions: L=3.395", W=1.583", D=0.276"

Note

Display Illumination/Clock Display: Pressing and holding the Source button turns off audio output, but the clock display and face/button illumination remain on. Using the DISP button in this mode, you can switch the clock display and face/button illumination on and off. If you leave the clock display and face/button illumination on, they are "keyed". If you turn the clock display and face/button illumination off, they only turn on when the unit is turned on ("unit on" operation).
