Product Description

Product Description

The SL-CT490 portable CD player gets up to 40 hours of playback time with two AA alkaline batteries. The portable CD player has been designed to virtually eliminate CD skipping under normal listening conditions, and 48-second backup memory provides further assurance of a near perfect, skip-free listening experience. You can enjoy listening to CDs that you make, since this portable CD player enables playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. The SL-CT490 is thin, lightweight, and easy to take on the go. The portable CD player comes with a remote control that you can clip to your clothing, preventing it from getting in your way while you're mobile. Program your portable CD player to play a CD at random, in a specified order, or to repeat one song or the whole disc, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes without interruption. XBS gives your music an added bass boost for fuller sound. The portable CD player can be used outdoors because of a heat-resistant, polycarbonate body design. In order to load a CD, 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. An included pair of stereo headphones lets you enjoy your music to the fullest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look ma, no skips!, March 6, 2003

By A Customer

I'm extremely happy with this cd player. My previous player was more than 10 years old and would play for 4 hours on a new set of batteries. Looking at it funny would make it skip. But this one is soooooo much better! I've had it for about a month and a half and it is still running on the first set of batteries. It is also much more durable. I haven't dropped it yet, but I've hit it pretty hard and flipped it upside down, just to see. It just kept on playin'. (This was a test I did for my mother so that she could see how durable it was. Now, I'm back to order a second one for her!) I haven't tested all of the bells and whistles on it, but so far, I have been very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars a perfect player for everyone., December 11, 2002

By	ghost face killer (NABEI) - See all my reviews

this player is fantastic,it gives you everything you expected in a player.First of all,the size of this cd player is very small and compact just a little bit bigger than a cd.it is also quite slim(0.9 inch),I could even put it into my pocket.Next this cd player does not skip at alleven if you drop it.when i drop the it on the floor around 4 feet high,it still play without any skipping.The playtime of it is super long,more than 60 hours,that is enough to last me for half a month.overall it is the best player for anyone as the price of it is not too expensive either.

5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommended, November 14, 2002

I researched portable CD players and Consumer Reports rates this one tops in their 09/02 ratings. It is hard to know which one to buy so I rely on recommendations.
