Summary:
Not for competition use. If you're putting together a total multi-media system, this might be the one for you. Again, very complicated to use for everyday listening.

Strengths:
Built-in DSP. Digital display is a light show!!! After you earn your bachelor of science degree at Panasonic University, you'll have a blast with all the gadgets on this one.

Weaknesses:
Very complicated unit to use. Keep your owners' manual at hand at all times. It will take you atleast a week to figure out how to adjust everything on this radio.
