Summary: i'm back... and i'm mad!
Review: when i first bought the CD i left a review saying that the latch which keeps it closed breaks off very easily...
will guess what? a couple of month later, after i had gotten it fixed, the latch broke off AGAIN.
and then today... my CD player just stopped functioning. the buttons don't really do anything... and the the CD doesn't spin.
SAVE YOUR MONEY... DON'T BUY THIS PIECE OF TRASH!

Summary: Cheaply built
Review: I had very little use, less than 2 hours before the latch broke off while keeping it in a bag. While it was in use, it seemed fairly good, but the volume is too lowI'm questioning Panasonic as a company in general after this and getting a VCR that likes to spit out tapes

Summary: Great for 2 Weeks.
Review: I've had this product for about two weeks. I used it alot but while it my backpack, the cheap little latch snapped off and now I can't use the cd player anymore. Radio still works, but unless I want tape around my player its annoying to have the lid keep flopping up.

Summary: What happened???
Review: My parents bought this personal CD/MP3 player for Christmas. I was pleased with it in general. Earlier this week the switch that holds the lid down broke off. I took it to one their authorized repair places. They told me that they no longer fixed such things. I then called Panasonic customer support. Where I was told that I could send it in to Panasonic in Texas to have it replaced for $50. I for one may never buy a Panasionic product again. Due to horrible customer support and lack of quality in thier prouducts.

Summary: Turn it up!!!
Review: I was very dissapointed when I tried to turn up the volume, it was not loud at all. Also the headphones were cheap and the buttons too small...I do have to admit that I don't have any problems with it skipping or functioning in general, but I am very unhappy with my purchase.

Summary: Volume is WAY too low!
Review: I can't recommend this player. It has one big flaw that I couldn't past. (I returned it the day after I bought it) The maximum volume is extremely low! Unless you are going to listen to CDs in a quiet area or need to hear surrounding sounds (such as a baby crying), don't buy this player. Even with seperately purchased high quality headphones, you'll still hear almost everything going on around you.

Summary: Not Satisfied
Review: For the specs of the Panasonic SL-SV550 CD Player souned pretty good, well CD player, plays MP3 formated CD's & AM/FM radio, however it hasnt lived up to what I expected. First time I ever droped the CD player it snaped open breaking the front latch & the back sensor, taped the back sensor down so now it plays CD's but the lid doesnt close so I keep it in a case or put something ontop of it while playing. The sound quality on the headphones isn't good at all, sound doesnt go loud & you can hear everything going on around you. Also some people said the radio reception was great, well it isnt great but it isnt terrible, but I'm leading more towards the bad reception side. One good thing about this CD player is all the features (CD, MP3, AM/FM Radio) and the somewhat long battery life. Also this CD player is very light. In the end, I wouldn't reccomend buying this CD player to anybody else, find something else.

Summary: Doesn't start CD where it stopped.
Review: I wanted a CD player to listen to audio books, so when I saw the review above that said this CD player started again exactly where you had stopped, I thought it would work. Unfortunately, it only starts exactly where you stopped if you leave the power on. If you turn it off, it starts at the beginning of the track you were listening to - not exact enough for audio books!

Summary: Excellent for it's price!!!
Review: This unit is loaded with cool features at a surprizingly low price. It is very well built - strong enclosure (I tested it:). Anti-Skip feature is excellent, and so is the sound quality. The tuner works well half the time for me, but I find it very picky sometimes. It all depends on your location. I believe the headphones cable serves as an antenna. Works well outside. MP3 discs have to be prepared according to instructions, but it is pretty simple and it works great. Battery life is impressive! PROS:
- Compact, Light, Strong
- Excellent Battery Life
- Battery Level Indicator
- Great Sound Quality
- Loads of features
- Unbeatable Price CONS:
- Buttons are poorly positioned - require looking at them to operate.
- No light on display
- No built in battery charger
- ID3 Tags Not Supported OVERALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!

Summary: good but...
Review: I bought this based on the reviews stating that for a low end CD/MP3/Radio, it was acceptable but not great, and a good value for the price. However, it has a completely unacceptable issue with playing MP3's: it has a low frequency buzz from the sampling. I returned the first unit, and the 2nd had the same problem. The same MP3 disc on 2 other portable players and 2 computers didn't have this problem. Plus as mentioned before, it's a pain to rename the MP3 tracks for the player to recognize them correctly.
