The Bottom Line:
This is a CD player that's meant to be seen...and although its on the expensive side, its well worth it.
I purchased this CD player for one main reason - It's so thin! 9/16 of an inch to be exact. So far, I've had it about 2 months and I haven't had any problems with it at all. Not only me, but every one who sees it loves it.
The SL-CT780 is absolutely wonderful. Besides being thin and lightweight, it offers brilliant sound that is synonymous with Panasonic. I was blown away by how great the sound is produced. There are four EQ modes (sound settings). They are NORMAL, SXBS (bass), TRAIN, AND LIVE. I usually keep the player on NORMAL mode or SXBS mode. SXBS is great for those songs that need that extra oomph. TRAIN is a horrible setting that is supposed to prevent sound leakage and make it so you can hardly hear the music outside the headphones. This is a great idea if you would like to be courteous to the people around you. The actual sound, however, is very muffled and it sounds like your listening to the music through a wall. LIVE mode gives you a very tinny sound and will make the electric guitar or the flute into an annoying piercing sound. I don't like the LIVE setting either.
Another great feature is the attractive aluminum lid. It feels very smooth and will resist fingerprints. It is also designed to resist a great amount of heat. I love how cold the aluminum feels after you leave the CD player on your desk overnight. The whole design and layout of the player is easy to use except that the only button for the EQ
is located on the remote. Otherwise, the remote is very handy, too.
Although it probably wouldn't, this CD player feels like it could shatter if you dropped it on cement or a hard floor. The last thing you would want though is to spend $130 on a beautiful product and then see it break to pieces all because of a silly mishap. Maybe because its so small, but it feels kinda fragile. I have read reports that the lids have actually come off, however, I don't think that will happen unless you severely tamper with it. I am pretty sure its a well-made product...I run around with it almost every where. I even stepped on it (by accident) and nothing happened. It's probably just a little paranoia kicking in -I've never spent this much money on a portable CD player before and I would hate to even imagine it breaking.
Overall, this is a great piece of equipment and anything from here...well, mostly anything...is a step down.
