Product Description
Advanced D.sound technology is comprised of four components that work together to elevate your audio experience to the next level. A Digital Amplifier helps reduce distortion and also helps you achieve crystal-clear sound - even at higher volume levels. The S-XBS and Digital Audio Gain Control help to improve bass response at higher volume levels and MP3 Re-Master technology allows the listener to receive outstanding sound quality from compressed music files, such as MP3 and WMA.Without H.Bass, headphones and compact speakers cannot reproduce some of the bass sound components that are included in music. H.Bass technology reproduces the harmonic series of bass components. This gives the listener the sensation of a fuller bass sound that cannot actually be reproduced with headphones and compact speakers.The SL-SX480A portable CD player is designed to reduce or eliminate CD skipping during most active uses. It even has a backup memory feature that helps provide further assurance of a skip-free listening experience.MP3 is the most popular and widely used digital audio compression format available today. Since MP3 files are so small, you can burn a library of music onto CD-R/RWs from a compatible computer and play them back on your portable CD player.
Amazon.com Product Description
Measuring just under an inch thick and weighing less than half a pound, the Panasonic SL-SX480A personal CD player is a great choice whether you're working out at the gym, commuting on the train, or listening at home in the bedroom. The player boasts a sleek, round housing with an attractive blue cover that snaps down securely during playback. More significantly, the unit plays more than just prerecorded CDs, with compatibility for both CD-R/RW discs and compressed MP3 files burned onto a CD-R/RW. The expanded playback options give users access to far more of their digital music library each time they leave the house. Active users will also appreciate the anti-skip system and its related backup memory function (45 seconds for CDs and 100 seconds for MP3s), which combine to ensure a disruption-free listening experience while jogging or driving. p At the core of the SL-SX480A's audio performance is Panasonic's advanced D.sound technology, which comprises four main components: a digital amplifier that reduces distortion for a clearer overall sound; the bass-enhancing facility of the S-XBS super bass boost and the digital audio gain control; and an MP3 remastering function that restores much of the lost fidelity of compressed MP3 audio files. The system also includes four equalizer settings to further enhance the audio experience. p And Panasonic wasn't content to stop there. The company also added a function called H.Bass, which reproduces the series of harmonic bass components that most headphones and compact speakers can't touch. As a result, the listener will enjoy the sensation of fuller bass through the SL-SX480A even when listening over a set of compact ear buds. p Also impressive is the array of playback functions--including 20-track programming, repeat play (one and all tracks), and random play--and the CD player's extra-long playback times, which extend up to 75 hours for MP3s and 33 hours for CDs. The CD player, which measures 5.43 inches in diameter, runs on a pair of AA alkaline batteries and comes with Panasonic's D.sound stereo headphones. The unit also carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr CD player, headphones, user's manual.

 panasonic portable cd player blue April 27, 2008
P. Horn (Columbia, MD)
For the price this is a great portable cd player. I use mine mainly when traveling on a plane cross country and it works great. I could not ask for more. I actually have bought two of these. One for me and one for my grandaughter. We both still use them - even though she has advanced to an MP3 player. She still likes this because she can carry it around with her in the house and use it when her MP3 player is recharging. It may not be high tech, but it works just fine. Thank you very much. I have always trusted Panasonic and still do.
 better have a good memory November 6, 2007

if you like to put in a mp3 cd and hit play it sounds great and plays everything, good luck if you want to play in the dark or use the controls. you need a magnfying glass to see the buttons which don't stand out and to see the minute display. I prefer the iriver if you can find one for a few bucks more.
 Almost a CD player that has everything October 22, 2007

Love my Panasonic SL-SX480 but I was really disappointed to find there is not an adapter outlet on the player. I have an old CD player from way back and it had an adapter. Never thought there wouldn't be one on the ones manufactured in this day and time. Love the resume feature.

Yep,this is the best CD walkman-style player I've owned. br /It reproduces sound very well and is easier on battery life than the pevious player i had-(a JVC model). It is twice as light in weight as the JVC. I recommend it! The only con is that the battery compartment is accessible only thru opening the player up as if you were inserting a CD. br /Yuu need to be careful to avoid touching the laser lens when inserting new batteries. I hope it lasts longer than my JVC did (which was about 1.5 yrs-it now won't read CD's.)
