Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic SL-SX392C portable CD player was made for active use, incorporating not only a wireless remote control but Panasonic's "No Skip" anti-skip system and a handy car kit that lets you power the device from your vehicle's cigarette lighter and listen through your cassette deck using a cassette-shaped audio adapter.

"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."

The system is bolstered by an improved set of error correction chips together with a 48-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.

Since the SL-SX392C 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 S-XBS bass boost and Train mode (which cuts high frequencies for less externally audible or less fatiguing sound). 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 32 hours. 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. In order to let you load a CD more easily, the top of the player fully opens, and a slide lock closes it back up once your CD is placed inside, making sure your player won't open during playback.

With a heat-resistant polycarbonate body, the SL-SX392C can be used in most outdoor settings without worry of damage. However, the unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

What's in the Box
CD player, stereo headphones, wireless remote control, remote battery, hook-and-loop fastener for remote, car power adapter, car cassette audio adapter, and a user's manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars gismo lovers beware, March 22, 2004
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX392C Portable CD Player (Electronics)
i was forced to get a new cd player when my 2.5 year old discman finally pooped out on me right before i was leaving for london. a quick stop at frys on the way to the airport left me with a decision between this one and the [other] of the same price. being easily impressed with gadgets (i.e. a wireless remote) i went with this one.
every time i use it, i regret that choice. as soon as a disc is put in and the door closed, you can hear a ridiculous hiss that shouldn't be in any kind of audio equipment. granted, i use my [other player] which provide much better listening than the stock ones they give you, but upon testing them, i found that you could hear the hiss even with the stock headphones in most quiet situations.
i have now owned this player for a year, and about two month ago, the cd began spinning crooked, causing it to skip massively about 5-6 tracks in to any cd. this is due to a cheap little mechanism designed to hold the cd in with push-button release that wore out without expansive abuse.
among other things wrong were it's lack of a line out jack, two completely useless eq settings, and buttons that are all the same shape making it impossible to navigate in the dark/your pocket.
this thing is [worthless].
but beyond that, the skip protection is actually fairly nice when the cd is spinning flat, and the battery life was good enough that i barely bothered to plug it into the wall when listening using it at home plugged into a stereo.

but seriously.
don't buy this thing unless you are part deaf and have night vision.

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SX392C Portable CD Player (Electronics)
I bought this cd player (with car kit included) about 3-4 years ago at Target, and I still love it. Though I usually use my new iPod now, this cd player's still gonna be with me for quite awhile longer. I mainly use this player now when I want to play CD-RWs in my car (car refuses to play CD-RWs). I've never had a problem with this item breaking or anything (and I can say that I used this player often before I got an mp3 player for the first time a couple weeks ago), and I can't recall any major problems with skipping in the car or when I'm walking with it either. Cool thing about this player is that it remembers what track I left off, so when I stop it, press play again, it starts off from the track I left off with. Plus the car adapter works with my iPod, so I don't have to buy one for the iPod.
