The XP-779's light weight, wide variety of power and output adapters, and high-quality sound make it an ideal portable. Listen to CDs anywhere: the XP-779's anti-shock system helps make your music skip-free.

The XP-779 portable CD player was fairly easy to set up, especially using its car or AC adapter. The only glitch we hit was that turning the unit on wasn't that intuitive. You have to slide the "Hold" switch to "Off" to begin playing CDs. The backlighted LCD display was easy to read, even in a dark car.

The XP-779 comes with an outstanding array of output and power adapters. With the included headphones, you can use it plugged into the wall with the AC adapter or running on regular or rechargeable batteries. The unit also includes a DC car adapter and cassette connector that routes the audio through your cassette player and car speakers. The unit can recharge its own rechargeable Nicad batteries, which made it easy to maintain (you will have to buy those batteries separately, however). The battery indicator was another handy feature. There's nothing worse than slipping in your favorite CD at work and finding you're out of power.

It also boasts a wide range of advanced play features. We especially liked the Resume feature, which lets you pick up where you were when you switched the unit off. We were able to program up to 24 tracks, and we liked being able to use the repeat feature during program play. The electric anti-shock system (EASS PLUS) seemed to reduce the incidences of skipping, even over bumpy gravel roads. Overall, the XP-779 was a superb machine to carry along in the car, during exercise, or at work. Its light weight and rechargeable capabilities made it a pleasure to listen to CDs anywhere.

5 out of 5 stars the best player ive seen(or heard?).......2002-05-11

it's a great little player ive had mine sense 1998 and it's been working great ever sense, it just died today on me though. but it's ok. i decided to buy another one just because i know i'll get my money's worth. i've to dropped mine.slammed it. kicked it.. and just beat it. but it's a great product and a good buy..

5 out of 5 stars Great Player.......2001-07-12

The Aiwa CD player is one of the best that I have purchased. I have had it for almost 4 years now. It plays CD-R's as well as regular CDs. The sound quality is good, and for those of you that like volume and bass this model will satisfy. I've dropped it, bounced it and it's incredibly hard to get it to skip. (Though it did skip when it hit the floor from the treadmill.) The silver body does get scratched up pretty easily, though that really only messes up the aesthetics and not the sound quality. THe car kit is complete and easy to use. The backlight display is very helpful in the dark.

4 out of 5 stars pretty tight.......2000-05-27

great cd player sound is good.Okay size,very good looking too and at a good price.

5 out of 5 stars Best Buy!.......2000-05-26

I bought this product after reading online reviews. Originally I was in the market for a Sony. When I read how satisfied others were with the Aiwa XP-779, I changed my mind. I bought it over a year ago and haven't a complaint! The anti-shock system is excellent! I never found the features difficult to operate, it seemed simple to me. Also, the rechargeable battery function is priceless! I just charge them up before I go away and leave the other attachments at home! If you want a reliable cd player, buy this one, you won't regret it!

2 out of 5 stars OK but not built to last.......2000-04-13

Works fine for price but you get what you pay for. Tape adaptor broke after 2 months. Sound quality is average. Often when it skips it shuts off. No backlit display.
