Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's SL-SW899V ShockWave CD player-radio has a rugged aluminum shell and a thin, compact, water-resistant design for outdoor use. It has a one-touch lock-and-release system that is designed to play even when things get rough on the trail. The most important feature in this model is its antishock memory system. This feature reduces skips before they even get to the memory buffer. It has an improved set of error-correction chips offering +100 percent and -75 percent error correction. It uses a digital servo in conjunction with a lighter and faster spindle motor that offers fast retracking speed.
For ultimate versatility, the SL-SW899V has an AM/FM digitally synthesized tuner that ensures stations won't drift once they are set. You can also preset up to 30 stations, 20 FM and 10 AM. There are five preset buttons so you don't have to search for your favorite station every time.
A hold switch prevents you from unintentionally hitting Stop while the CD is playing or from accidentally changing the programming. In addition, you can save your batteries from drain with the power-saving auto power-off function. The batteries will last for up to 25 hours of playback. This model includes adjustable stereo headphones, an AC adapter, and a jogger grip. The Panasonic SL-SW899V features 24-track random-access programming, repeat of one or all tracks, skip and search, and memory and recall keys, as well as resume play and random play.
From Digital Living Today
A Portable CD player is a must for any household. Whether you use it in the car, during your commute to work, or while you exercise, it's essential to be able to have high quality music with you when you're on the go. The Panasonic SL-SW899V Shockwave Portable CD Player is a small, reasonably priced unit that can play CDs and allow you to listen to AM/FM radio as well. Protected by an anti-shock case on the outside and an impressive, 40-second anti-skip system on the inside, the SL-SW899V can endure more rough and tumble than most machines in its class, providing you with clean uninterrupted sound. Panasonic claims the SL-SW899V will play up to 25 hours on a single set of batteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice player, poor headphones,

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW899V Shockwave Portable CD Player (Electronics)
The cd player sounds good and it pulls in all the radio stations I listen to, but the headphones that came with it are down right painful.March 2002. This player has gotten almost daily use since June and it's held up well. I was skeptical about the hinge, but it's still together after being dropped a couple times. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the headphones, I wouldn't still be using the player if I hadn't replaced the headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars
There is no need to look for any other portable CD player.,
By Pranav Jaidka (Germantown, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW899V Shockwave Portable CD Player (Electronics)
The only problem with this equipment ...the very well known fact that is it has a junk headset. Ok apart from this the faults .....NOTHING .It does have the modes buttons located within the case and it is inconvenient at times.But then how many times would you want to change these settings. I have just left it at resume play and my problems are over. A minor glitch may be that the system takes off a fraction of time to turn on the bass feature and so you dont hear audio continuosly. But hey ..thats ok for me. The anti shock works amazingly well and the Sound quality is fantastic.The radio pickup is classy. The noise reduction is also helpful when you use the 'City' feature. Programmable feature :very helpful and convenient .No more hassles of locating your favourite stations. In all a 4.5 star rating would be good for this .But since its not available id give a 5 rather than a 4 .

Good Package...,

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW899V Shockwave Portable CD Player (Electronics)
I just picked this up today, but already I know it's very good... lots of anti-skip memory, a radio, charging capability, a headphone remote, ac adapter, and a hand strap... plus, the cd player looks really cool, and has the options you'd want, like programing tracks, random play, resume, and hold, etc... it also feels solid as a rock, which is nice cause my other cd player was very flimsy, and I didn't have much confidence in it... The radio is very cool, and the reception is very good... also, there is room to program a load of radio stations in, so it's easy to get the channel you want... my only problem was that it cost more where I bought it then I wanted to spend, but with all the things included, and all the cool things included in the player, I guess it's worth it... this should last me for a good many years, so it was a good buy...
