Description:

Panasonic's SL-CT489V CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing and FM/AM radio reception alongside long battery life and reliable anti-skip protection. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 40-second memory reserve for added back up.

The player is conveniently compatible with either AA or AAA batteries, deriving up to 25 hours of playback (75 hours for the tuner) from two AA batteries or 14 hours of playback from two AAA batteries (two of each are supplied). The tuner offers 30 station presets: 15 for FM and 15 for AM. Logically arranged, top-mounted controls simplify operation, while a large, easy-to-read LCD shows disc status. A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped.

The SL-CT489V'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 24-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play, and a four-preset equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference--choose from S-XBS (extra bass system), live, train (high cut). Auto power-off prevents battery drainage after your CD has ended, and the unit's aluminum top cover and polycarbonate body protects the player from the elements.
