Panasonic SL-CT489V Portable CD Player

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's SL-CT489V CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing and FM/AM radio reception alongside long battery life and reliable anti-skip protection. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 40-second memory reserve for added back up.

The player is conveniently compatible with either AA or AAA batteries, deriving up to 25 hours of playback (75 hours for the tuner) from two AA batteries or 14 hours of playback from two AAA batteries (two of each are supplied). The tuner offers 30 station presets: 15 for FM and 15 for AM. Logically arranged, top-mounted controls simplify operation, while a large, easy-to-read LCD shows disc status. A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped.

The SL-CT489V's digital-to-analog converter is Panasonic's single-bit MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) DAC, designed to virtually eliminate distortion and deliver all the subtleties and nuances that make digital recordings so rich.

Playback options include 24-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play, and a four-preset equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference--choose from S-XBS (extra bass system), live, train (high cut). Auto power-off prevents battery drainage after your CD has ended, and the unit's aluminum top cover and polycarbonate body protects the player from the elements.

What's in the Box
CD player, stereo headphones, two AA batteries, two AAA batteries, and a user's manual.

Hardware Is Not Hard Wearing.......2002-02-01

I bought this cd player because it has the am/fm receiver, remote, and anti-skip function. I also bought the jogger belt separately from the Manufacturer. I used it for the first time today. At the gym, on the treadmill, the cd skipped while jogging. There's nothing special about the remote and the jogger belt proved to be too bulky when doing other stuff at the gym. The radio did not work in the gym (the gym is under a train station though). Additionally, for some unknown reason, the volume, at its highest, was actually quiet. I would only recommend the product along with the jogger belt to a walker who likes music played at an average volume.

A nice CD player but..........2001-11-14

Overall this is a decent player, but it has three strikes against it. I had such a problem with the battery case on the player. The player is designed to use both "AA" & "AAA" batteries in the same compartment. Panasonic provides an adapter piece to use with the "AAA" batteries. It sounds like a good idea, except when you try to close the back of the case with the "AA" batteries inside; it appears that you will break the unit trying to close the case. The directions provided are not very clear. I finally figured out that the case is suppose to stay partially open, thereby creating a stand effect at the bottom of the player. Daah!
Compared with the other Panasonic player I owned (SLSX469V);this player does not come with an AC adapter nor does it have an output link (allows you to hook to a receiver). You have to pay additonal money to order the adapter from Panasonic. (...)
