A Look At The Panasonic Car CD Player

By Gordon Jackson

Ask ten people what they look for in a car CD player, and you'll probably get 10 different answers. For some people, its the sound quality. For others, it might all be about the cosmetic appeal. And for others, its the signal-to-noise ratio. Ask these same ten people, a second time, and maybe even share what you gathered as answers from your first survey, and you'll probably end up hearing the whole wish list jumbled together. And this is just because, every driver really wants it all " the sound, the look, the signal-to-noise ratio...

If you want it all, you want Panasonic. Its as simple as that. Panasonic just happens to be a trusted household name when it comes to car audio. Panasonic has a variety of models, so many, in fact, that you can spend literally hours testing their sound performance out, and enjoying the dexterity you have with the knobs, buttons and menu functions. Panasonic is has earned its reputation for delivering reliable and versatile audio products.

Aesthetically, the CQ-DF203U radio/cd player is a beauty. It comes with a black chrome-finished faceplate, with the Panasonic signature in snazzy blue scrawled over the actual display. The model is also just happens to deliver good sound, thanks to its MOS-FET circuitry. MOS-FET helps deliver improved signal-to-noise ratio, and keep level of faithful sound reproduction high.

It comes with a flip-down console. And it has got a fun, user-friendly menu function and large rotary knob. This means no more push-button volume. The CQ-DF203U has 2.5V preouts, and the receiver can readily accept add-on power. You can adjust bass, treble, and sub level, with the sub level being the most impressive.

Its faceplate is detachable, which is an anti-theft feature that you really want to take as a given. After all, car CD Player theft is a common occurrence, so much so that its fairly standard to find the player gone but the rest of the car intact.

This particular model is how it sounds, an attractive CD Player, with a user-friendly interface, and great sound. You will get compliments on the smooth sound, and you're bound to see a few of your friends suddenly switch to Panasonic, after driving around town with you.

When you're buying any car CD player, write yourself a wish list, ask a few other people what they'd put as no. 1 on their list, and then go out and buy your Panasonic. You really don't need to check what you wrote on your list, because with Panasonic, short of the house in the tropics, it comes with it all. - 29952
