Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's ultra-slim SL-CT580 CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing and remote control operation 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.

Panasonic's Power Last system uses a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time, helping the player derive up to 56 hours of playback from two supplied Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries in the included external battery case.

A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. You can set it to lock the player, the remote control, or both.

The SL-CT580'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, user's manual, and an AC power adapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, September 17, 2001
By 
Jules Scogna (Drexel Hill, Pa. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT580 Portable CD Player (Electronics)
If you have done your homework you know that there is another Panasonic CD Player one step up from this (SLTCT780). Now that model is nice but a little more expencive. The SLCT580 is a VERY good CD Player. First sound - The sound quality is unbeleavable. This player definatly deserves better headphones that the ones that are included. And with the X-Bass it is mind blowing! Second - Battery Life, there is not much to say, with the rechargeable batters just plug it in every 2 days and it will never die. Third Skipping - Or should i say how it never skips. With the No-Skip protection this CD player is perfect. And if i does skip the 40 sec. "Back Up" will make it sound like it never even skiped in the first place. Forth Size - OH The thinness!!! It is amazing with the rechargeable batterys or the AAA's it is probibly the thinest CD player out there. That is probibly it, i mean this CD play is definityly worth the $ and it is orver all a great way to listen to all your favorite groups.

This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT580 Portable CD Player (Electronics)
Read a review of this product on another site which indicated the sound quality was TOP NOTCH. I have to agree, unbelievable reproduction. Just plugged by Sennheiser's in and this sounds better than the Bose 901's hanging from the ceiling. Truely great sound reproduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it in Japan, January 4, 2002
This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT580 Portable CD Player (Electronics)
I bought this cd player last year in Japan (it came with more accessories - remote, worldwide adaptor, waterproof case, etc) and it is awesome! I use it to jog with and have it most of the time hooked up to this old stereo of mine to use the speakers on it (the cd player on the stereo broke a while ago).

The batteries are really nifty, super thin, and last a long time. This is the thinnest cd discman I've ever seen - thinner than all the others I saw in Japan, too. The sound is great no matter what headphones you use. Definitely worth buying!
