Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's ultra-slim, MP3- and WMA-friendly SL-CT800 CD player offers the convenience of pocket-slim sizing, remote control operation, and a staggering 80 hours of MP3/WMA file playback. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 48-second memory reserve (100 seconds for MP3) 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 120 hours of MP3 file playback from two supplied Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries (not supplied) in the included (and optional, for general operation) external battery case.

This unit's AC adapter uses a magnet to make it easier than traditional adapters to connect and disconnect. Once the magnetic connector is inserted into the adapter, connections and disconnects are effortless. (You may also connect in the conventional way without using the magnet adapter.)

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-CT800'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 20-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play. With the player's moving-light key illumination, the buttons on the side of the unit change color and light up in different sequences, showing both the mode of operation and the remaining battery life.
