Product Description
Panasonic brings a beautiful design and a wealth of features to this affordable Personal CD Player. The SL-CT790 has been designed to virtually eliminate CD skipping under normal listening conditions, and 48-second backup memory provides further assurance of a near perfect, skip-free listening experience. You can enjoy listening to CDs that you make, since this portable CD player enables playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. The SL-CT790 is round and only slightly larger than a CD - it's thin, lightweight, and easy to take on the go. It comes with a remote control that you can clip to your clothing, preventing it from getting in your way while you're mobile. The SL-CT790 has an LCD-readout on its remote control, which makes it easy for you to see the track number and "elapsed time" of what you're listening to. Program this portable CD player to play a CD at random, in a specified order, or to repeat one song or the whole disc, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes without interruption. XBS gives your music an added bass boost for fuller sound. The CD player can be used outdoors because of a heat-resistant, polycarbonate body design. In order to load a CD, the top of the player fully opens, and a slide lock closes it back up once your CD is placed inside, making sure your player won't open during playback. An included pair of stereo headphones lets you enjoy your music to the fullest.
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's ultra-slim SL-CT790 CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing and remote control operation 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 48-second memory reserve for added back up.

Panasonic's Power Last system uses a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time, helping the player derive up to 100 hours of playback from two supplied Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries in the included external battery case.

A hold function activated from the supplied wired remote control prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. You can set it to lock the player, the remote control, or both.

The SL-CT790'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 three-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.
