Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic SL-SX289V portable CD player was made with active use and listening flexibility as prime design factors. Spin your recordable audio CDs or listen to the radio, with an inline remote control or without. The choice is yours. The SL-SX289V features Panasonic's "No Skip" anti-skip system. "No Skip" construction was designed with rubber bushings to absorb the shock, while a thin and light anti-skip mechanism and anti-skip digital servo system add to the defense. It also boasts a digital-servo recovery system that can detect even a fractional difference in the CD's tracking and quickly recovers before it has a chance to "derail."

And, the system is bolstered by an improved set of error correction chips together with a 40-second backup memory buffer. When a vertical shock (along the axis of the disc) causes a tracking error, the system plays back music from the memory buffer until correct tracking resumes.

The radio offers 20 FM station presets and 10 AM. Since the SL-SX289V enables playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs, you can enjoy listening to CDs that you make in addition to conventional audio CDs. This unit also features programmable playback (up to 24 tracks, in your chosen sequence), random play, repeat play (either one song or an entire disc), as well as XBS bass boost. The player includes a "pop-up" disc eject mechanism for easy disc removal.

The CD player uses two AA batteries (not included), which last up to 25 hours with CD playback and up to 75 hours using only the radio. You can also power the unit with an optional 4.5V AC/DC adapter, which lets you plug your portable CD player into an outlet.

With a heat-resistant polycarbonate body, the SL-SX289V can be used in most outdoor settings without worry of damage. However, the unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

CD player, stereo headphones, and a user's manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic strikes again!, October 26, 2001
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX289V Jogger Model Portable CD Player (Electronics)
So far, I've been ecstatic with every Panasonic product I've bought. I purchased a DVD from them 2 years ago, and it's never skipped. Then, I bought a Panasonic VCR through Amazon. Once again, it's superior. When it came time to replace my old Sony portable cd player...naturally, I went to Panasonic, and to Amazon (the best brand at the best price). Not only does the player not skip on my daily train ride, but it even played a butchered cd flawlessly. No other player has ever been able to do this. The 40 seconds of shock protection make it immaculate. Even the radio reception is awesome (to use an 80's word)! It's worth every penny--and believe me--it rare that I say things like that!!

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT for Joggers, January 9, 2002

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX289V Jogger Model Portable CD Player (Electronics)
This CD player is NOT for joggers. While I was walking at a fast pace, but not jogging, the CD player skipped for a second or two, which isn't too bad. As soon as I started running, it stopped playing, when I stopped running, it started playing again. It doesn't work when you are running!! Please, if you work out, don't get this player, go get the Sony Sport!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE BEST PORTABLE CD PLAYER AROUND, December 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX289V Jogger Model Portable CD Player (Electronics)
I Live In Johannesburg South Africa. I Am Going On A (26 Hour) Train Ride And Wanted A Portable CD Player That Had The Best Anti-Skip System At A Reasonable Price. I Bought It For R1000, Slightly More Expensive Than America, But It Was Worth It. I Hooked It Up To My R2500 Hifi System And The Radio Reception Is At Least 10 Times Better Than The Hifi's One, And The CD's Quality Is At Least 50 Times Better Than My Hifi's CD Sound Quality. The Remote Control That Came With It Is Absoultely Awesome. It Plays All My Home-Recorded CD's With No Problem, And The Best Part About It Is That Almost No Matter How Much You Test Its Anti-Skip System, It Will Never Skip. GUARANTEED. I Highly Recommend This Player To Anyone Who Wants A Good, Affordable, CD Player With Radio And Remote Control. (Or Anyone Who Wants A Portable CD Player, Because It Is The Best Out There)
