Product Description:

Representing a happy marriage of high style and high convenience, Panasonic's ultra-slim, MP3-friendly SL-CT710 CD player offers the convenience of pocket-slim sizing, remote control operation, and nearly five straight days of MP3 file playback (at 128 kbps). The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 45-second CD memory reserve (400 seconds for MP3) for added back up. Panasonic's Power Last system uses a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time, helping the player derive up to 117 hours of MP3 file playback from two supplied Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries in the included, optional-use external battery case (AA batteries not included). Advanced D.sound amplifier technology harnesses four components that work in concert to elevate your listening experience. A digital amplifier reduces distortion and helps deliver crystal-clear sound, even at high listening levels. S-XBS+ and Digital Audio Gain Control improve bass response at higher volume levels, while MP3 Re-master technology (on/off) enhances sound quality from compressed music files. The SL-CT710's digital-to-analog converter is Panasonic's single-bit MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) DAC, designed to virtually eliminate distortion and deliver all the subtleties and nuances that make digital recordings so rich. Playback options include 20-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play, and a 5-preset equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference--including S-XBS (extra bass system), S-XBS+, live, and train (high cut). A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. What's in the Box CD player, stereo ear bud headphones, wired remote control, 2 Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries, external battery pack, user's manual, AC power adapter.

Comment: Great Job Panasonic! Rating:
This CD player is so great. Even the earbuds are good! It has a very light, sturdy, stylish design. The remote is easy to use and id3 tagging works fine with it. The buttons on the side light up and change colors when playing or charging. Like the review above I have had 2 Sony CD Walkmans (D-E350) in the last two years. UNCOMPARABLE! The panasonic is much better. It seems all of their products are wonderful!. I have a Panasonic cell phone, 2 home stereos, and an in dash CD player, all from Panasonic and they work great. The LCD remote has a backlit display that is bright so you can see it at night. Overall, this CD player is a funtional, stylish, light, and just WONDERFUL CD player. Highly recommended.

Comment: Best CD Player i've ever owned! Rating:
This CD player is one of the most convienient i've ever owned. IT's small and easy to use. The sound is also very clear when the music is played. The only thing i disslike about it is that the head phones are too short.

I really recomend this cd player to anyone who is interested in a small slim cd player.

Comment: Wonderful Rating:
I got this MP3/CD player for my birthday. I like almost everything about it. The sound quality is great (especially at XSBS+ mode). The higher sounds are not cut as much as it's made out to be. If you want, you can set it to "Live" EQ mode anyway. It's played all my regular CDs and a rewritable data MP3 CDs. The songs start playing after it scans the CD for about 5 seconds.
The CD player itself looks very cool and is thin. The manual is comprehensive, but there's no software included (which could have made it easier to burn songs in sorted order)

These are only things that bother me:
- Included earphones are too short.
- Lights on CD player constantly flash when playing.
- SBXS+ mode cuts higher pitch sounds a bit
- Recharging the batteries takes a while.
- Extra battery compartment is slightly inconvenient.

They're all minor problems though. The sticker on the back says it's made in Japan, unlike other flimsy junk you can find.

Definately worth buying.
