Product Description
How about great CD sound that can go just about anywhere? The rough-and-ready SL-SW890 boasts the updated circuitry and floating construction of Panasonic's No-Skip system - skipping is virtually eliminated, for spectacular sound without interruption. Panasonic's acclaimed Shockwave design looks good and promises a sturdy build that's ready to handle rougher treatment - including a tough aluminum outer body and heat-resistant polycarbonate inner body. You also get all the playback versatility you need, thanks to repeat, resume, and random play modes. Two "AA" batteries (not included) provide up to 25 hours of playback!
Amazon.com Product Description
Small, rugged, and loaded with useful features, Panasonic's SL-SW890 is a paragon of style and portability. Its high-quality, 40-second anti-skip protection guards against listening interruptions during active use. The SL-SW890 runs on two AA batteries (not supplied), from which it derives 20 hours of continuous playback with anti-skip protection off and 25 hours with protection on.

For customized listening, the SL-SW890 permits 24-track programming. The unit offers a bass-boost feature (S-XBS), which emphasizes low frequencies in the headphones or in any devices connected from the headphone jack. Use the player's hold switch to prevent unintended (and possibly battery-wasting) changes of state, such as starting playback from a stopped state when the player is jostled inside a backpack or purse. Resume lets you continue playback from the last-played point, and random play shuffles the track sequence for more surprising, radio-like listening.

The headphone jack and DC power input both come with handy rubber seals to keep dirt out when the ports are not in use. A low-battery indicator on the display alerts you to the need to change batteries soon. You can use the car adapter model SH-COC9 (not included) for in-vehicle enjoyment.
