Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic SLSX275 portable CD player was designed for the user who wants to listen to music while jogging or walking. The Panasonic Anti-Shock Memory system stores up to 40 seconds of data in its memory to fill in gaps caused by bumps or vibrations. A handgrip and adapter are included for ease of handling while walking or jogging. Features include bass boost, 24-track random-access programming, a pop-up disc ejection system, a slide-lock to open the top cover, and a new compact design.

Two AA alkaline batteries allow for 25 hours of playback with the Anti-Shock Memory on. It is heat resistant and has a built-in battery recharger. The playback and programming options include repeat one or all tracks, skip/search, memory/recall, resume play, and random play. It has a power-saving auto power-off function so you don't waste your battery and a "hold" switch that prevents you from unintentionally turning the player on and draining the batteries or accidentally hitting "stop" in the middle of a track. The SLSX275 also includes adjustable stereo headphones and an AC adapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy... but read the review, September 13, 2000

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX275 Portable CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock and Jogger Handgrip (Electronics)
This is my third Panasonic portable CD player. I've seen the product evolve and improve over two years, and my impression is generally favorable. I use the player a lot (>2 hrs/day), and I take it with me wherever I go. Here, in a nutshell, are my positive remarks:

- sound: as far as I could tell, the electronics is identical to the previous generation of Panasonic players (eg. SL-360x) in every respect. Identical functions, identical mechanical parts. As a result, the sound quality is similarly good, although the output power is not very high. The anti-shock memory has never failed me so far. The headphones provided with the player are large and cumbersome for jogging, but are a sonic improvement over the previous ones. Nevertheless, classical music lovers should get better ones, because the high frequency response is mediocre.

- batteries: as in previous models, they last a long time. With Duracell batteries, battery life is ~30 hours. Rechargeable batteries can be used, and recharged with the provided adapter without taking them off the player.

- ergonomics: new and improved. The CD won't accidentally start when put into a backpack, since the button are at alevel with the case. The jogger handgrip is comfy, adjustable and the buttons are easy to reach even when jogging. The overall look is also very pleasing.

And now the *bad* remarks:

- paint: the silver plastic of the scaffold is very delicate and scratches easily. The CD player should be kept in a well-padded pocket of your jacket or packpack. Otherwise it will wear very quickly. In this respect, I liked the old black Panasonic better: uglier, but more sturdy too.

- mechanics: the mechanics is *very* delicate. If you regularly listen to music while jogging, your Panasonic will display the message "sorry" more and more often, and won't play the desired track. The problem lies with the mechanical actuators of the optical laser reader, which are damaged by repeated shocks.

My final advice is: if you want a portable CD player for "light" use (e.g., listening while studying on campus), this is an ideal buy. For for heavier use, go for thougher models, like the panasonic SL-SW505J. The price difference is worth the added reliability.

4.0 out of 5 stars cool thing to own, June 11, 2000
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX275 Portable CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock and Jogger Handgrip (Electronics)
this is a nice product considering the fact that there are so many of them lying around town! also the jogger grip really proves useful if u happen to be a jogging fan like me! not only did it give me a good performance during jogging but was also helpful when it came to a little off road driving. but on very bumpy roads it is a little delicate so u better have a neat grip over it

4.0 out of 5 stars cd player with alot of twist!, August 12, 2000

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX275 Portable CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock and Jogger Handgrip (Electronics)
after waiting for two weeks until i got it three days ago, it was great! i had to have someone purchased it online for me in the states then have it shipped to the philippines and it was really worth the wait. i can't make it skip! been tapping, shaking and slapping it...it really won't skip! this is a must have low cost portable cd player. there are only two things that i wish it had, one is the car adapter kit and the other is the smaller adjustments on the jogger grip (we asians have smaller hands that is why). other than that, the player is perfect for people on a tight budget. by the way, it also delivers clear sound quality even on pirated cd's (havn't tried it on cdr's but i'm hoping it will work). i've been wanting to have a portable cd player that has a tuner as well but hey why ask more when i can only afford 70 bucks! overall, this panasonic slsx275 is a portable cd player worth it's price. if you're looking for a cd player that is branded with good quality at a low price, go for this one, you won't regret it! better get one now before it goes out of stock again! -- hi hon!
