Panasonic CQ DFX783 ... 4 high-power CD Player/RDS Receiver with CD changer control.

Panasonic car stereos can play more than just CDs. In fact, not only are all industry leading Panasonic systems also compatible with CD-Rs and CD-RWs, some even handle the convenience of MP3 and WMA formats.

MP3 or MPEG layer 3 is a file format that compresses CD audio tracks, allowing you to fit 10 to 14 times more music on a disc. Download MP3s from the Web, or convert your favorite CD tracks to MP3 format, then burn your choice onto a CD-R or CDRW in just minutes. Panasonic also allows you to navigate files and folders as you would on a PC, making it so much easier to find the track you're looking for.

Windows Media Audio files (WMA) achieve the same high-level quality as CDs, yet occupy only half the size of comparable MP3 files. This allows you to store much, much more of your favorite music without having to upgrade the memory capacity of your system.

One of the great benefits of MP3 and WMA formats is the ease with which favorite songs can be retrieved. The equivalent of up to 10 CDs can be managed in groups and folders in the same manner as files are sorted on a PC. What's more, Panasonic systems are capable of managing an incredible 254 folders containing up to 999 files. And in order to make use even easier, operation is simplified through use of a scrolling display that switches between folder and file names, and artist names and track titles, with up to 64 characters for each entry depending on the model.
