Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's ultra-slim, MP3- and WMA-friendly SL-CT800 CD player offers the convenience of pocket-slim sizing, remote control operation, and a staggering 80 hours of MP3/WMA file playback. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 48-second memory reserve (100 seconds for MP3) 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 120 hours of MP3 file playback from two supplied Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries (not supplied) in the included (and optional, for general operation) external battery case.
This unit's AC adapter uses a magnet to make it easier than traditional adapters to connect and disconnect. Once the magnetic connector is inserted into the adapter, connections and disconnects are effortless. (You may also connect in the conventional way without using the magnet adapter.)
A hold function activated from the supplied wired remote control 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-CT800'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 20-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play. With the player's moving-light key illumination, the buttons on the side of the unit change color and light up in different sequences, showing both the mode of operation and the remaining battery life.
What's in the Box
CD player, stereo earbud headphones, wired remote control, external battery pack with two Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, user's manual, and an AC power adapter with magnetic connector.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Greatest CD Player Ever,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT800 Ultra Thin Portable CD Player (Electronics)
The SL-CT800 is an amazing CD player. Not only is it thin and attractive, but it also has an amzong battery life: up to 120 hrs (unheard of typically for MP3 CD Players). It works very well. The only problem I've had with it is that, unlike iRiver's SlimX 400, the LCD doesn't show international characters (i.e., letters from other languages, like the French "é" or the Spanish "ñ", or Russian Cyrillic, etc.). That's not a major problem though, and does not lessen the overall prestige of this amazing device. A definite A+++!

Ultra-cool, ultra-thin, ultra-excellent quality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT800 Ultra Thin Portable CD Player (Electronics)
A couple months ago I bought an iRiver CD/MP3 player but it broke after a couple days, and the second unit I got exchanged for also broke, after less then a week. I did some research on the web and found out iRiver's quality is very poor. So I returned it and bought the SL-CT800 for about twenty bucks less. This is my first Panasonic portable CD player, and I'm greatly pleased.Not only is the Panasonic much better quality than the iRiver -- it feels solid and gives you a sense of confidence -- it's also quieter and slimmer. The remote control is great, and the illuminated keys on the side of the player are fun and actually give you indications of various things. The player also shows ID3 tags for MP3 files (but not for WMA files). I read English only so I don't know if it shows international characters or not. For my purposes, it plays MP3 and WMA files with total cool so this is excellente, period. Of course, it's also a great CD player, in case you were wondering, heehee. The player itself takes 2 special Ni-Cd batteries and you charge by plugging in the included AC adapter (which is also cool). It also comes with a case that holds 2 AA batteries and you can attach the case to the adapter port. Panasonic claims "up to 120 hours" total on the combination of Ni-Cd and alkaline batteries. For my purposes, the Ni-Cd gives more than enough juice to last through a whole day of listening. My friend who has another Panasonic says their CD players are power stingy, so I feel good about the whole thing. If you are thinking a Sony, it's good, too, and they give you a case, but buck for buck Sony's have less features than Panasonic. The SL-CT800 should service me for a long long time.

It has an " Achilles Heel", the weak rechargeable battery!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT800 Ultra Thin Portable CD Player (Electronics)
Everything was working great initially.But two weeks later, the CD player is dead! I tried it for a long while and finally decided that the rechargeable battery went bad since CD player still works on AC! Why the battery died so fast? I remembered that we put it on charger for a whole night a few days ago! And this baby is so vulnerable to a very common human habit. Look! lots of people put cellphone on AC charger overnight and that doesn't kill their cellphones. And the manual does say "battery may go flat if AC adaptor is kept on after battery is finished charging" and the battery is only in warranty for 10 DAYS! It basically useless without its rechargeable battery.
