Panasonic SL-SW940R Shockwave Water Resistant Portable CD Player (Red)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Offering extended battery life and high-powered anti-skip technology, the rugged Shockwave SL-SW940 also features a raised-swirl Active Spin design on the its top cover, making it look as cool as it sounds. Incorporated into the design is a bold LCD display centered within the swirl, with operating buttons bordered around it. The player has all the elements that toughen ShockWave products for active use: a water-resistant shell and a dual-lock mechanism to ensure the CD compartment closes tightly. Additionally, a special gasket-type seal around the CD lid and a deep-seated, water-resistant battery compartment make this portable even less susceptible to damage from sand, water, and heat.

Panasonic's exclusive No-Skip technology helps prevent interruptions from jostling during active use. No Skip's unique construction uses rubber brushings to absorb shock, while an anti-skip mechanism and an anti-skip digital servo further prevent read errors. A 48-second memory reserve provides added back up.

Now, battery changes will be fewer and farther between thanks to Panasonic's PowerLast high-efficiency power system, which combines an efficient motor with low-load circuitry for playback time of up to 33 hours on two AA batteries. CD playback abilities include playback of standard CD, audio CD-R, and CD-RW; 24-track random-access programming; repeat and resume (which picks up where the unit left off when last stopped); and skip/search and memory/recall. A hold switch prevents accidental starting, stopping, or track skipping during use or transport.

Looks cool.......2007-01-17

I bought this last year for my 8 year old son. It is still going strong. It has a cool look and meets all of his needs. I know nothing about the quality of the headphones or such but he is happy with it.

Better Options..........2004-08-19

I bought this CD player three months ago. First of all, if you're considering buying this, definitely treat yourself to a nicer pair of headphones, the ones that come with this are murder on your ears. Secondly, within a month of getting this, the locking mechanism got screwed up and now it opens randomly- an annoying interruption. Granted, this player has taken some pretty hard hits- I'm not the kindest master. In general, though, it feels pretty crappy- it's plastic, not metal. Also (small things), the volume's really annoying, it doesn't go up nearly as high as I'd like, and it's too big. The anti-skip is this player's saving feature. I've never had any skips; it works great. Despite that for $60 there are better options out there. I'd recommend some of Panasonic's other similarly priced players, of course Sony's usually good too. I actually really liked the Sony D-EJ100PS (I stole my friend's while she was on vacation), it's a lot smaller, has a much longer battery life and it too doesn't skip (ever). It's flaw is that it also has a low volume problem... *shrugs* maybe that's just me.

Worst CD player I've ever used.......2004-06-24

I just used this CD player for the first time last night and I was absolutely appalled at how HORRIBLE the sound on this piece of crap was. If you hate music, or if you don't know what you are talking about, then this is the CDplayer for you. I played 3 different CDs on this thing and they all sounded terrible (1 was Foo Fighters, 1 was Fischerspooner, and one was a CD-R cd that I made). In almost every song on all of the CDs the vocals were completely unintelligible so that you could only hear the music (which was almost entirely trebble - and the "Bass Boost" feature on this thing is a joke, it barely did a thing). And as for the CD-R disc, I made sure to look for a player that could play these CDs, and yeah, uh, it'll play them - as in, you press play and it does something, but as far as the sound - it makes all the songs sound like they're being played through a tank of water (all gargled and quiet with little electronic screeches and beeps - and I had listened to this particular disc many other times in my stereo and car and it sounded fine until I put it in this crappy thing). So if you just want a CD player that looks good on a shelf, this is for you, but other than that, you might as well take $60 out of your wallet and throw it in the trash can (oh and don't forget shipping).

THE BEST CD PLAYER I'VE EVER OWNED.......2004-02-04

I just bought this portable CD player at my local Wal-Mart and now I couldn't be happier. This is the best CD player I've ever owned. It's got a cool design and it plays CD's very well. I would strongly recommend that people purchase this item.

AWSOME PRODUCT.......2003-12-27

I really love this cd player, it sounds, looks, and works great...the only problem that I can think of is what everyone else says, the earphones that it comes with..they sound bad and are uncomfortable, but if you put decent earphones on the sound is AWESOME. I also like how its water resistant, I even take it into the bath tub. And in the 5 weeks ive had it I got NO SKIPS What so ever..and thats with skateboarding and even snowboarding.
overall GREAT BUY!
