| agathodaimon's Full Review: Panasonic SL-SV550 Personal CD Player |
I use this CD player at work with my headphones and sometimes hook it up to my computer speakers.
It hasn't given me any problems yet and I've been using it for almost two years.
I've taken it on car rides and airplane trips, using battery power. I haven't had to change the batteries on either occasion, and that's after hours of use. It seems to be fairly conservative on power usage.
One thing I like about it (other than it doing what it's supposed to do) is that you can't hear the CD's spinning. On some players, you can hear the CD's loud and clear inside the player.
This player has a lot of features too. Not only can you play CD's, but you can play CDR's, MP3's and listen to FM OR AM radio. I get bored of my CD's often, so it's a big plus to get both AM and FM radio.
It's a little difficult to figure out how to program stations in the memory if you lose the instructions like I did. But when you use the instructions, they are very easy to read and understand.
The features: (max, 5 stars)
Playback Quality: 5 Stars - Excellent sound, plays any disk I throw at it, scratched or not. MP3 or standard. The radio gets pretty good reception for what it is.
Durability: 5 Stars - So far, no problems. Skip protection is AMAZING.
Fit/Finish: 5 Stars - Looks cool, everything is very solid and well put together.
The only complaint is the headphones it came with. Not the best sounding headphones in the world, but decent.
I opted for a pair of Sony (back of the head) headphones.
I'd highly recommend this player to anyone.
Recommended:
Yes
Amount Paid (US$): 50.00
