So far, I've been ecstatic with every Panasonic product I've bought. I purchased a DVD from them 2 years ago, and it's never skipped. Then, I bought a Panasonic VCR through Amazon. Once again, it's superior. When it came time to replace my old Sony portable cd player...naturally, I went to Panasonic, and to Amazon (the best brand at the best price). Not only does the player not skip on my daily train ride, but it even played a butchered cd flawlessly. No other player has ever been able to do this. The 40 seconds of shock protection make it immaculate. Even the radio reception is awesome (to use an 80's word)! It's worth every penny--and believe me--it rare that I say things like that!!

This CD player is NOT for joggers. While I was walking at a fast pace, but not jogging, the CD player skipped for a second or two, which isn't too bad. As soon as I started running, it stopped playing, when I stopped running, it started playing again. It doesn't work when you are running!! Please, if you work out, don't get this player, go get the Sony Sport!!

I Live In Johannesburg South Africa. I Am Going On A (26 Hour) Train Ride And Wanted A Portable CD Player That Had The Best Anti-Skip System At A Reasonable Price. I Bought It For R1000, Slightly More Expensive Than America, But It Was Worth It. I Hooked It Up To My R2500 Hifi System And The Radio Reception Is At Least 10 Times Better Than The Hifi's One, And The CD's Quality Is At Least 50 Times Better Than My Hifi's CD Sound Quality. The Remote Control That Came With It Is Absoultely Awesome. It Plays All My Home-Recorded CD's With No Problem, And The Best Part About It Is That Almost No Matter How Much You Test Its Anti-Skip System, It Will Never Skip. GUARANTEED. I Highly Recommend This Player To Anyone Who Wants A Good, Affordable, CD Player With Radio And Remote Control. (Or Anyone Who Wants A Portable CD Player, Because It Is The Best Out There)

The Panasonic SLSX289V portable CD player is the poorest machinery I've ever experienced using. It easily malfunctions when you put in a CD recordable disc, and there is no anti-shock button on the CD player, to prevent it from skipping.

When I had to get this product fixed, Panasonic didn't do anything about it. Basically all that I got from this CD player, was a [$$$] AM/FM radio. What a waste of good money.

If you're looking for a good portable CD player with a radio, get the Aiwa XP-R220.

We just bought this CD player for our 7 year old daughter, and the sound is incredible. Even through the ear phones. We also bought her some new speakers to hook the cd player into, and the whole set up is great. It is easy to set up, and light weight. We are very pleased with the product. The only drawback is that there is not an AC Adapter available as of this time... they are on backorder with the company until the middle of January. I imagine we'll be going through a lot of batteries until then! I researched these products quite extensively, and found that this one has all the features we wanted for our little girl... Now I wishI had one myself!
