Amazon.com Product Description
Offering MP3 playback, a built-in radio, extended battery life, and high-powered anti-skip technology, the rugged Shockwave SL-SW960V also features a raised-swirl Active Spin design on the its top cover, making it look as cool as it sounds. Incorporated into the design is a bold LCD display centered within the swirl, with operating buttons bordered around it.

The player has all the elements that toughen ShockWave products for active use: a water-resistant shell and a dual-lock mechanism to ensure the CD compartment closes tightly. Additionally, a special gasket-type seal around the CD lid and a deep-seated, water-resistant battery compartment make this portable even less susceptible to damage from sand, water, and heat. Panasonic's exclusive No-Skip technology helps prevent interruptions from jostling during use. No Skip's unique construction uses rubber brushings to absorb shock, while an anti-skip mechanism and an anti-skip digital servo further prevent read errors. A 48-second memory reserve provides added back up.

Now, battery changes will be fewer and farther between thanks to Panasonic's PowerLast high-efficiency power system, which combines an efficient motor with low-load circuitry for playback time of up to 35 hours on two AA batteries (in MP3 mode; batteries not included). CD playback abilities include playback of standard CD, audio CD-R and CD-RW; 24-track random-access programming; repeat and resume (which picks up where the unit left off when last stopped); and skip/search and memory/recall. A hold switch prevents accidental starting, stopping, or track skipping during use or transport, and the radio offers a digital-synthesizer tuner for drift-free radio reception alongside 30 station presets (20 for FM, and 10 for AM).
