Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic SL-SX451C personal CD player comes with everything you need to listen to music through your car's built-in cassette stereo. Outfitted with a power adapter that plugs into your cigarette lighter and a cassette adapter for the deck itself--along with a pair of stereo headphones for non-vehicle use--the car kit is a good option for people who own older car stereos and don't want to upgrade to more-expensive units. As a further enticement, the CD player isn't restricted to CDs only, as it also plays MP3s burned onto a CD-R/RW disc. The expanded playback options give listeners access to far more of their digital music libraries, while also cutting down on the number of CDs they need to bring along during road trips (the average CD-R holds 10 hours of MP3 music).

Audio-wise, the CD player boasts digital MP3 remastering, which restores most of the fidelity that's lost during the MP3 compression process. The resulting sound is richer and deeper, without the shallow, tinny tones so common to unaltered MP3 songs. The sound is further enriched by the player's S-XBS and S-XBS+ bass boost equalizer settings, along with the Live setting, which delivers concert-hall-like audio. Another audio bonus stems from the CD player's anti-skip system, which reduces or eliminates interruptions whether you're jogging, driving, or simply walking across the room.

The SL-SX451C's playback functions include skip/search controls, random and repeat (one and all) play, and a 20-track programming mode. And even when you're not in the car and can't use the cigarette lighter power adapter, the CD player still offers impressive playback times on a single pair of AA batteries (50 hours for CDs and 85 hours for MP3s). Listeners can further boost the playback times by using rechargeable batteries.

The SL-SX451C, which measures 5.31 by 0.94 by 5.31 inches (W x H x D), comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Very pleased with this item. It seems to eat up batteries but since I got it to plug into my truck this isn't too much of a concern. I find the sound is good (of course that relies a lot on my speakers) and I think it is very good value for the price.

This has been one of my best purchases from Amazon. It allows me to play Audio CDs as well as MP3s. It came with car charger and cassette adapter which is what I needed for my car. I have used it with battery and earphones too and the sound quality is good. Battery life is surely dependent on the battery. I would surely recommend this product to anyone who needs a portable player.
