Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With MP3 compatibility and everything needed to use the player with a car cassette deck, the SL-MP36C puts hours of entertainment at your fingertips. Load the player with a custom-made CD-R or CD-RW, and it's easy to organize MP3 files into a playlist of favorite songs or albums. The MP3 function can also be set to random or repeat play (for up to 99 tracks). The player was designed with a 45-second backup memory (100 seconds with MP3 files) to virtually eliminate CD skipping under normal listening conditions, and its heat-resistant polycarbonate body design suits it for all but the most extreme outdoor use. You can program the SL-MP36C to play at random, in a specified order, or to repeat one song or the whole disc, making it possible to enjoy favorite tunes without interruption. Panasonic's S-XBS (Extra Bass System) gives music an added bass boost for full, powerful sound.
A top-panel LCD readout shows track number and elapsed time, while the player's slide-lock top cover keeps the player sealed during playback, so you'll never lose a disc to common jostling. By pressing a button inside the player, a CD pops up for easy removal. Panasonic's Power Last function makes two standard AA batteries (not included) last much longer than they would in another player, up to 30 hours, or up to 40 hours during MP3 playback. You can also run the player from rechargeable batteries (not included) or from the supplied AC adapter. To power the player in the car, just plug the car adapter into a cigarette lighter and you're ready to go. No matter what power source is used, the auto-power-off function shuts down the player when a CD ends.

Customer Reviews:
MP3 buggy.......2002-09-12
Good but disappointed.......2002-07-20
Cons
NO FREAKING REMOTE!!!
No "scan" capability when listening to MP3's
Big pause between songs when listening to MP3's
Overall it's a pretty good unit for the price but it's missing some things that should be standard (like scanning). And I chose this model over others because it was supposed to have a remote.
SLIM, TRIM, AND FIT MP3/CD PLAYER.......2002-07-07
The most amazing thing for me was this players size. In comparison to most portable CD/MP3 players in the market right now, this has got to be the smallest. I have compared it to most players out there, and not even SONY has come up with a smaller size MP3/CD player. To me it seems since this MP3/CD player thing is still new, most companies out there are starting us off with bulky equipment so that later you will be tempted to buy their newer slicker upcoming models. I think in that respect, Panasonic jumped the gun and gave the consumer what they really wanted.
I purchased the unit mostly so that I could play my MP3/CD's in my car without having the need for a CD/CHANGER. The unit works beautifully and does not skip(45-sec for CD-DA and 100-sec for MP3 playback). The unit also offers up to 40 hours MP3 playback on two "AA" Alkaline Batteries and up to 30 hours for your regular music CD's making it the longest I have found. The unit has a stylish finish and is not thick or oversized/bulky like some others I have compared it too.
Overall, it has been a great little MP3/CD player and with care should give you lasting hours of good music. The unit has Good quality sound and like most portable CD players, the headphones are not the best and should be replaced for some quality ones. I also found out that not all these units include the remote like you see in the picture, mine did not come with the remote (I don't know why) which would have been very helpful. I think maybe I should write Panasonic about it. So, if you want a slim, trim, and fit MP3/CD player I suggest you look at the Panasonic SL-MP36C.
