Product Description

Amazon.com Reviews

The Panasonic CQ-C8400U MOS-FET high-power, in-car amplifier/CD player (60W x 4 channels) delivers pure signal output by minimizing crossover distortion during current-to-voltage conversion of the signal from the preamp stage. What does this mean? Benefits are apparent in an excellent high-range signal-to-noise ratio, reflecting minimal treble noise. The result is highly faithful sound reproduction with expressive musical detail. This unit also features a subwoofer pre-amp output, enabling you to send music through an external amplifier for a booming sound.

Spice up your drive with this CD receiver's 3D action graphics that look especially cool on the illuminated blue display. The 3D Dot Matrix (3DDM) display renders graphics and animations with over 20,000 pixels of resolution, resulting in smooth motion and highly detailed images. It includes six display modes, including a spectrum analyzer and full-motion animations.

This CD receiver not only plays CDs, but also CD-R/RW discs. If you've got WMA and MP3 music files recorded on the same CD-R/RW disc, no problem--this CD receiver can handle it. For your listening pleasure, the acclaimed Alphatuner V FM/AM tuner circuitry is built into this unit as well, and there are 18 FM and 6 AM presets. Other features include:

• AUX input for connecting an external digital audio player
• Motorized front panel
• Remote control

You can easily upgrade to an external amp system by using the dual preamp outputs on this 4-channel head unit. This allows for a maximum output voltage of 5V and output impedance of 60 ohms that not only help protect the signal from external noise, but also permit low power amp gain for powerful reproduction of transient peaks with minimum distortion. The CQ-C8400U offers the following CD changer controls: track/disc scan, track/disc repeat, and search/random play.

Features
Large Rotary Knob. A large rotary volume control knob on the left side of the front panel adds to the hi-fi audio image. Operation is easy and familiar. Push in on the large knob to make item selections, and turn to adjust level. Not only does it operate smoothly, but it also provides a satisfying tactile solidity.

Sound Quality. Personalize your sound system with our SQ7 seven-band graphic equalizer. Not only does it provide manual adjustments to help you fine tune your music, but it also offers a series of one-touch equalizer settings, such as Rock, Pop, Vocal, Jazz, Club and Flat.

This thing is hot and performs really well. The animations are cool, and although you won't be staring at them after you've had the unit more than two weeks, they don't really get old either...they're pleasant :) The sound is powerful and there are some good user options (e.g., lets you convert speakers to sub if you want...let's you hook up mp3 player...tilt screen, etc...)

Mine has held up really well the year or so I've had it...
