Panasonic CQ-CB8901U auto CD player
Date Published: 7/19/05
The Panasonic CQ-CB8901U is the perfect way to experience the benefits of all-digital HD Radio. While it hasn't made headlines like satellite radio and high-definition television, HD Radio is quickly becoming a mainstay in terrestrial broadcasting. More and more local radio stations are broadcasting a free HD digital signal along with the traditional analog signal everyone has been tuning in for years. It is said that HD's FM signal is almost CD quality, and the CQ-CB8901U brings it right into the car.
In addition to HD Radio, the CQ-CB8901U is XM-ready. To further expand the possible listening sources, the CD player can handle CD-R/RW, and it will even play MP3 and WMA files that have been burned to disc. The head unit has very substantial 5-volt pre-amp outputs for front, rear and subwoofer signals, with switchable high-pass and low-pass filters for fine-tuning signals sent to external amplifiers. There is internal equalization as well, featuring Panasonic's SQ7 seven-band equalizer with factory presets. The Panasonic CQ-CB8901U is a terrific way to hear all of the advantages of HD Radio, and its XM-ready status and MP3 playback capabilities are just icing on the cake.Warranty
