## Description

Product Description               Available storage capacity may vary.                  .com               Join the MP3 revolution without abandoning your CD collection with the stylish and affordable Panasonic SL-SX450 personal CD player. Outfitted with a number of basic features and a few more advanced functions, the device is an ideal alternative to expensive Flash memory MP3 players, as it lets listeners enjoy downloaded MP3 files when burned onto a CD-R/RW disc. Listeners can employ such playback features as 20-track random-access programming; repeat and random play; and skip/search within both individual tracks and MP3 albums. The device also includes a hold switch that locks the current settings so that users don't accidentally switch tracks while jogging or turn on the unit while traveling. Active listeners will welcome the anti-skip technology, which includes a 45-second CD memory reserve to help ensure a skip-free listening experience whether you're sitting on the sofa or jogging on the sidewalk. The memory reserve is even more generous (100 seconds) when listening to MP3s.  The CD player delivers on the audio front as well thanks to the multiple equalizer settings, which include a live setting that simulates the sound from a live concert hall and two S-XBS settings. The first S-XBS option boosts the bass to create a deeper, more powerful audio effect, while the second S-XBS enhances the overall sound (including the bass). Adding to the CD player's value is Panasonic's PowerLast high-efficiency power system, which combines an efficient motor with low-load circuitry to create a playback time of 50 hours for CDs and 85 hours for MP3s on just two AA alkaline batteries. The device also includes a low battery indicator and carries a one-year warranty against defects. What's in the Box SL-SX450 CD player, stereo headphones, user's manual.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have its own speakers and volume control?**

**Q: Am I able to charge it?**
A: No. Batteries only.

**Q: Can it play MP3 discs?**
A: Yes, it will play MP3 cds.

**Q: how do I get it to play the same disc over and over again so it plays my sleep music all night? When it stops, I wake up then have to start it again.**
A: My model is SL-SW405 add it has a "Repeat" button. It could be different on your model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What you pay is what you get.
*by B***Y on October 20, 2005*

I don't have a CD player on my car and IPOD is way too expensive for me, so I have been using a coby mp3-cd player for the past 3 years. My old mp3 player keeps on skipping and have difficulty at loading (fails to load 40% of time). It finally gets to the point that I decided to buy a new one. I spent a really long time reading reviews for different models and finally decided to buy Panasonic SL-SX450 Portable CD / MP3 Player. So far I am really happy with it.Pros:1) Anit-skipping actually works. So far it only skipped once for the past 2 months. That's really good compare to my old one which skips almost everyday.2) Loading is fast. It never has any problem reading my multi-session mp3 cd's. However, there is this one time when I added new files to the cd and reorganize my file directory on the CD, there is this weird sound playing at the background for all the old tracks. It has no problem playing the new tracks, but it makes weird noises when it plays the old one. Other than that everything is great. Just don't re-organize your file directory.3) Auto-reload is great. It actually knows where it stops last time and picks it up. This way you don't have to start from the beginning again. This also works after you put in new files to the CD (just don't re-organize the file directory).Cons:1) My old one has mp3 tags which I can use to search for song title and this one doesn't have mp3 tags. But, it doesn't really matter to me since I am really organize. In addition,the display of song title is pretty useless for me since I won't be able to see it when I am driving.2) Fast Forward button is only one track at the time. So you have to press like 70+ times to get to the 8th album. In addition, if you press too quickly it can't detect it, which is really annoy when you try to get to your song quickly.3) It's really ugly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Literate and genteel
*by S***L on November 17, 2005*

Seeing that the Sony D-EJ001 CD Walkman was a couple of bucks cheaper than this one and that Amazon was advertising it at a greatly "reduced" price (misleading), I selected it over this Panasonic competitor. Big mistake. I was almost relieved when it failed to read discs because then I had an excuse to exchange it for the Panasonic SL-SX450. The Sony model had tiny, practically inaccessible, plastic buttons on the underside, an all but unusable "lock" button, and a tiny read-out window that wasn't visible from the top.This Panasonic model, like the Sony, is also manufactured in China and is a real "lightweight" (both of the previous generations of players were made in Japan). But it's unfailing in reading my disks, does so with reassuring clarity, and accommodates all my needs. The controls are of a generous, finger-friendly size and the read-out window is large and clearly visible when viewed from above the machine. The pause control is more practical than the Sony's, and I love the feature that allows you to resume play of a disc where you left off providing the cover hasn't been opened. Finally, the extra life you'll get from two AA alkalines is a significant technological advance. This machine just keeps going!The only other consideration might be the headphones. The Sony's ear buds with attached clips are cosmetically "cool" but tinny-sounding compared to the Panasonic's. Regardless, even a non-horticulturalist could tell you that buds are no good without a plant.[Since writing the above, I see that the item, introduced barely six months ago, has been removed by Amazon and perhaps by the manufacturer. Unfortunate, since I had planned to purchase another as a gift and have found no comparable unit at a comparable price. After two months' use, the only problem I've noticed with the player is the flimsy door to the battery compartment--sometimes requiring use of a screwdriver or similar pointed device to open (though rarely necessary due to the minimal drain on the batteries) and extra care in closing (unless it's completely "snapped" shut, the machine won't read discs). With any luck, Panasonic will address this flaw and reissue the product.]

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by N***Y on March 3, 2015*

I hunted everywhere for a portable CD player. Did not know that I was such a dinosaur looking for one! LOL!This one works really great and I am very glad it has the resume play feature. I walk on my treadmill while listening to continuing education CDs. Perfect way to knock out both requirements!Recommend the seller!I knocked off one star only because the batteries were hard to load and I am hoping that won't be a recurring problem. Would buy again nevertheless!
