Panasonic SL-CT720 Portable CD / MP3 Player with D.Sound Technology

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Measuring just under an inch thick and weighing a mere 5.4 ounces without the battery, the Panasonic SL-CT720 personal CD player is a great fit whether you're working out at the gym, commuting on the train, or listening at home in the bedroom. The cover boasts a sleek, elegant finish that's complemented by a matching remote, which lets listeners control the device with their thumbs while exercising. More significantly, the unit plays more than just prerecorded CDs, with compatibility for both CD-R/RW discs and compressed MP3 files burned onto a CD-R/RW. The expanded playback options give users access to far more of their digital music library each time they leave the house. Active users will also appreciate the anti-skip protection and its related backup memory function, which combine to ensure a disruption-free listening experience while jogging or driving.

At the core of the SL-CT720's audio performance is Panasonic's advanced D.sound technology, which comprises four main components: a digital amplifier that reduces distortion for a clearer overall sound; the bass-enhancing capacity of S-XBS super bass boost and the digital audio gain control; and an MP3 remastering function that restores much of the lost fidelity of compressed MP3 audio files. The system also includes six equalizer presets to further enhance the audio experience.

Another nice feature is the SL-CT720's ID3 tagging function, which reads the title, artist, and album information of each MP3 file and displays it on both the main LCD screen and the remote control. Also impressive is the CD player's extra-long playback times, which extend up to 140 hours for MP3s and 80 hours for CDs. To enjoy the full times, merely pop a pair of rechargeable NiMH batteries in the main compartment and a pair of AA alkalines in the included external battery case. The device also comes with a pair stereo headphones and an AC adapter.

Awesome discman! But no screen on it, bundled headphones suck and you MUST buy a carrying case........2007-03-04

This is a great discman, I actually prefer it over the CT-710, wihch I had but it broke (due to lack of care I guess). This one has more advantages than the 710, most notable is that it has 2 more sound modes (3D-1, 3D-2), which the 710 does not have. The latter is nicer in many ways, for example, the buttons in the discman light up, but those are minor details that are not really relevant.

As with the 710, this discman has two major problems:

- It does not have a screen in the discman itself (although that's why the remote is for obviously).
- It is perhaps TOO small, meaning that if you drop it a few times it'll go Kaput. So you MUST buy a carrying case, I didn't buy one for my 710 (something I deeply regret) and it didn't last more than a year! So it'd be better to do a small inversion in one than having to buy another discaman in the near future.

- Another problem is the bundled headphones, which are terribly designed but have great sound. The poroblem is that the left cord is MUCH shorter than the right one, so you'll have some trouble in that sense.

Well, the good things are that it is a lovely discman, it comes wwith rechargable batteries (which last A LOT), so no worries about having to buy some, yet if you want to it comes with a "tube" in wich ye insert some regular AA batteries and you attach it to the discman and the battry will last MUCh longer (like 40h+). I also like the fact that you can easily hide it, so there are less chances of you getting mugged, though peole can still see the remote obviously. About that, it is really awesome and easy to work with, just fiddle aroungd with it and you'll understand how to use it in no time (oh and it's backlit).

Overall, you won't regret buying this at all.

A better sounding cd/mp3 player.......2005-06-19

I ordered this cd player because of its low profile and light weight since I plan to use it on my frequent plane trips. The sound quality of this player, when used with the supplied earbuds, is acceptible. If a decent noise-cancelling over-ear headphone is used, such as the Bose or the Sony, then the sound is comparable to a good stereo. I noticed a faint buzz (higher than the typical 60 Hz hum) when the noise cancelling circuitery is turned on. May be there is a component in the player than picked up noise from near by electrical sources. Otherwise a very good cd player from Panasonic that is still built in Osaka, Japan.
