Panasonic SL-CT480 Portable CD Player (Silver and Blue)

Panasonic’s thin, silver-and-blue SL-CT480 CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing 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 40-second memory reserve for added back up.

The player is conveniently compatible with either AA or AAA batteries, deriving As much as 35 hours of playback from two AA batteries or 14 hours of playback from two AAA batteries (two of each and every are supplied). Logically arranged, top-mounted controls simplify operation, even as a big, easy-to-read LCD shows disc status. A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped.

The SL-CT480’s digital-to-analog converter is Panasonic’s single-bit MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) DAC, designed to virtually do away with distortion and deliver the entire subtleties and nuances that make digital recordings so wealthy.

Playback options include 24-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play, and a four-preset equalizer allows you to tailor the sound in your preference–choose between 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.
