Join the MP3 revolution without abandoning your CD collection with the stylish and affordable Panasonic SL-SX450 personal CD player. Outfitted with a number of basic features and a few more advanced functions, the device is an ideal alternative to expensive Flash memory MP3 players, as it lets listeners enjoy downloaded MP3 files when burned onto a CD-R/RW disc. Listeners can employ such playback features as 20-track random-access programming; repeat and random play; and skip/search within both individual tracks and MP3 albums. The device also includes a hold switch that locks the current settings so that users don't accidentally switch tracks while jogging or turn on the unit while traveling. Active listeners will welcome the anti-skip technology, which includes a 45-second CD memory reserve to help ensure a skip-free listening experience whether you're sitting on the sofa or jogging on the sidewalk. The memory reserve is even more generous (100 seconds) when listening to MP3s.

The CD player delivers on the audio front as well thanks to the multiple equalizer settings, which include a live setting that simulates the sound from a live concert hall and two S-XBS settings. The first S-XBS option boosts the bass to create a deeper, more powerful audio effect, while the second S-XBS enhances the overall sound (including the bass). Adding to the CD player's value is Panasonic's PowerLast high-efficiency power system, which combines an efficient motor with low-load circuitry to create a playback time of 50 hours for CDs and 85 hours for MP3s on just two AA alkaline batteries. The device also includes a low battery indicator and carries a one-year warranty against defects.

SL-SX450 CD player, stereo headphones, user's manual.

I purchased this player just to read talking books. I've had no problems. The instructions are a bit vague, but I finally figured out how to "keep my place". It did seem to use a lot of batteries so I purchased an adaptor.

I certainly have not had the experiences noted by the previous reviewer.

This was purchased for me as a gift. It soon began to exhibit repeats through a disk, any disk -- usually from 14 track onward. I only listen to books on tape on the player so the problem is particularly annoying. Once a track is completed, instead of advancing, it begins that track again, and again, etc. This is not due to motion or bumping. To proceed, one must manually advance. A replacement was sent by Amazon. Unfortunately the new unit exhibits exactly the same problem.
