Description:

Panasonic's SL-SW899V ShockWave CD player-radio has a rugged aluminum shell and a thin, compact, water-resistant design for outdoor use. It has a one-touch lock-and-release system that is designed to play even when things get rough on the trail. The most important feature in this model is its antishock memory system. This feature reduces skips before they even get to the memory buffer. It has an improved set of error-correction chips offering +100 percent and -75 percent error correction. It uses a digital servo in conjunction with a lighter and faster spindle motor that offers fast retracking speed.

For ultimate versatility, the SL-SW899V has an AM/FM digitally synthesized tuner that ensures stations won't drift once they are set. You can also preset up to 30 stations, 20 FM and 10 AM. There are five preset buttons so you don't have to search for your favorite station every time.

A hold switch prevents you from unintentionally hitting Stop while the CD is playing or from accidentally changing the programming. In addition, you can save your batteries from drain with the power-saving auto power-off function. The batteries will last for up to 25 hours of playback. This model includes adjustable stereo headphones, an AC adapter, and a jogger grip. The Panasonic SL-SW899V features 24-track random-access programming, repeat of one or all tracks, skip and search, and memory and recall keys, as well as resume play and random play.
