Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic SLSX286J portable CD player has been designed to virtually eliminate skipping under normal listening conditions. It's been given a thin, lightweight, traverse mechanism to minimize the influence of outside vibrations, and a floating rubber construction to help absorb vibrations. The servo and digital servo systems assure precise focus servo and tracking servo operation with even more resistance to vibrations. However, if a shock does occur, the 40-second backup memory will kick in, and your music will continue to play as if nothing happened. This gives you a near-perfect, skip-free listening environment.

Since the SLSX286J enables playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs, you can enjoy listening to CDs that you make in addition to conventional audio CDs. It also plays CD-DA-formatted audio CDs, a feature not often found in portable units. This unit may not be able to play some CD-Rs and CD-RWs due to the condition of the recording.

This unit also features programmable playback (random, specific order, and repeat of either song or entire disc) and the S-XBS extra bass boost.

A remote control gives you a more convenient way to listen to your portable CD player. It even comes with a clip to prevent it from getting in your way while jogging, and a soft case is included to prevent the player from bumping against you as you move.

This Panasonic portable CD player uses two AA batteries (not included), which last exceptionally long with the Power Last feature. However, there are also a number of other ways to power your Panasonic player. One option is using rechargeable batteries, which can be recharged and then reused time after time. You can also add an AC adapter, which lets you plug your portable CD player into an outlet. The SLSX286J can also be used in your car with a car power adapter. Simply plug the adaptor into your cigarette lighter and you're ready to go. And no matter what power source you use, the auto power-off function shuts off your player once your CD ends.

With a heat-resistant polycarbonate body, the SLSX286J can be used in most outdoor settings without worry of damage. However, the unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

The Panasonic SL-SX286J portable CD player includes stereo headphones and comes with a warranty of a year on parts and labor.
