Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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.

    Pros:
  • Anti-shock system reduces skipping
  • Unit can recharge with Nicad rechargeable batteries
  • Includes headphones, AC adapter, car tape adapter, and cigarette-lighter adapter
  • Three-stage battery indicator lets you anticipate battery replacement

    Cons:
  • Slightly confusing to turn on and off

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, affordable, premium sound quality, I love it!, November 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Aiwa XP779 Portable CD Player (Electronics)
This Aiwa portable CD player is the best! It makes my car speakers sound better than they really are. For the money, this little CD player is a great value. Aiwa products generate great sound, and I love the features such as "resume" and the extra bass. This player never skips, and was simple to use and install into my car. For those people who wrote about having trouble turning it on, don't listen. All you do is press the play button! I get in my car, turn it on, and press play! Simple, premium sound, sleak design - in one word, AIWA!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too good player, November 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Aiwa XP779 Portable CD Player (Electronics)
3* for sound. ESP works great. Sound quality is good, definitely better than 2 Sony(ESP broke) units I had, but AIWA interferes with all kinds of electric equipment. While listening to my music on the train and it was picking up a static noise from the electric engines of a train, same thing happened on the escalator. For me it's a NO!
