Features:

• "MD-auto gain control" adjusts track volumes so that large differences do not occur between tracks.
• Selectable subwoofer and hi-pass filter cutoff frequencies (50, 63, 80, 100, 125Hz) and slope (-12, -18dB/octave).
• 9-band graphic equalizer (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1.7k, 3.15k, 6.3k, 12.5kHz) adjustable from -12dB to +12dB.

Variants: FH-P005MD has these features, which the FH-P003MD does not:

• CD-Player handles MPEG-1&2 Audio Layer 3.
• "ASL" (auto-sound-levelizer) detects and compensates for changes in external noise levels, adjusting volume and tone controls in response to the nature of the external noise (tunnel, rain, road surface changes).
• "Changeable color"
• BBE digital sound enhancement.
• Remote control included (available separately for FH-P003MD).
