Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy your music with the freedom that comes from MP3 CD playback, extended battery life, and high-powered anti-skip technology. 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. The SL-SX431C's heat-resistant, polycarbonate body makes it even better suited for outdoor use. Taking the player in the car? Use the supplied car kit to power the player and channel its audio through your vehicle's cassette deck.

Onboard D.sound technology comprises 4 components that work together to elevate your listening. A digital amplifier helps reduce distortion and produce crystal-clear sound, even at high listening levels. S-XBS and Digital Audio Gain Control help to improve bass response at high levels, while MP3 Re-master technology produces outstanding sound quality from compressed music files.

The player also offers HighMAT (High Performance Media Technology) level 1 compatibility. HighMAT standards provide a convenient way for you to create custom compilations of your digital music, and this player's compatibility will let you sort your HighMAT-generated audio files neatly into folders. This not only helps you keep your music files organized, it saves time when you're searching for a specific file.

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 90 hours on 2 AA batteries (not included) during MP3 playback and up to 50 hours during standard CD play.

What's in the Box
CD player, a user's manual, a wired remote control, over-ear headphones, a cassette audio adapter, and a vehicle DC power adapter (standard AC/DC power adapter not included).

    2 out of 5 stars Worthless for MP3 Discs.......2005-04-22

    This is a nice cd player with good sound at a reasonable price, which you should consider if you only want to play regular cd disks. However, if you want to use this for MP3 format disks, forget about it.

    I bought this for my mom and she told me that it would not play the tracks of MP3 cds I had made for her in the correct track order. She contacted Panasonic who could not figure out the problem and had her send it to them for repair. She got it back, and it still didn't play tracks in order. Then I discovered that for some odd reason, this player will only play MP3 tracks in the correct order if they are named properly, example, 001.mp3, 002.mp3, etc. Seems odd that Panasonic employees couldn't figure this out. I use Roxio to burn disks and I cannot name tracks in this way. I have owned a number of MP3 cd players and this is the only one I have owned which won't play tracks in order.

    I have purchased my mom a Sony MP3 cd player and I suggest that you do the same.

    5 out of 5 stars Lots of Features for A Great Price.......2005-02-11

    As a Panasonic fan for years, I had bought this portable CD player because I needed a CD player that could play MP3 discs in the car. Enter this model with the car kit. I still have another Panasonic portable CD player which I used in the car and on trips that I've had for over five years.
    The features on this are great. The resume feature finally works the way it should, not like on the older Panasonics. It picks up right where you stopped, remembering the track and the time position it was at before it was shut off. The remote control, mounted on the headphone cord is very useful and controls the Play/Stop, EQ, Volume, Advance/Fast Forward and Reverse/Rewind. The MP3 playback feature works without a hitch and this unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs just fine. The Anti-Skip system is the best I've seen so far.
    The Sound on this unit is quite good, better than older Panasonic models. The XBS has two settings now, XBS and XBS Plus which finally competes with Sony's sound. There is also a Hall setting which reminds me of the old "Ambience" feature Panasonic used to have on some older products.
    There are two things that I would change though. First of all, the headphones. While stylish, they produce mediocre sound quality. You're much better off using your favorite pair rather than the ones that come with this unit which is what I will do when I take it out. The second thing is, while playing MP3 files, there is no search feature. You cannot rewind or fast-forward while playing MP3 discs.
    But all in all, this is a great unit at a great price.

    5 out of 5 stars Great player for the price.......2005-01-22

    This is a great portable cd player if you are looking for a device to play MP3 but not spend upwards of $300+ to buy an ipod or the like (I already own a 512mb MP3 player). This player does not list the name of the song that is playing, but this was not a big deal to me. Also, to me it appears misleading on the back of this package that this might play WMA files, but as far as I can tell it only plays MP3s. However, this wasn't a big problem because most of my music is already in MP3 format. The headphones were good, but the length of the cord seemed pretty short, so I actually switched to a different pair of headphones. All in all, this was exactly what I was looking for.

    5 out of 5 stars Good basic unit for MP3ing my car........2005-01-07

    I bought this product about 3 months ago. My goal was to find a good sounding, reliable, skip free, and inexpensive ( <$50) MP3 player for my 03 Corolla. I desired to rid my car of all the CDs that were piling up. The "must features" was to start where I last left off and a random play function. My last unit, a Rio, would start from the beginning and that was annoying. Also, I wanted a remote so that I can hide the unit. This unit has all of these features. I have the unit hidden in my center compartment and the remote sticks out. Now I get into my car and hit the play button and it takes off where I last left it. If you cut off the ignition before you hit the stop button it will take you to the beginning of the last track. I listen to lectures and I needed a unit that would start exactly where it last left off. I only use for MP3s and don't use batteries. No problems playing any of my cd-rw mp3s with various bit rates 64-256kbs. The other benefits are as others have mentioned. Good basic unit.

    1 out of 5 stars Maybe I got a lemon but..........2004-12-24

    I liked this player when I first got it, especially that it continued the CD from the point I stopped it instead of starting over. This is a big help for audiobooks. And it doesn't skip even on bumpy roads.

    However, about three or four months after I got it, it started giving an F 15 error message and the CDs wouldn't play. The manual does not mention this problem. I've tried all kinds of different workarounds, which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Sometimes taking the batteries out and putting them back in helps. Sometimes switching from batteries to the adapter works. Sometimes switching CDs works. But often it just stops and won't play again no matter what I do. This happens so often now that I can't count on it during my long commute.

    So I'm giving up and getting an in-dash CD player, which will mean I have to give up my cassette player because of the way my dash is built.
