Summary: Panasonic CD player
Comment: I am very happy with my purchase of a Portable Panasonic CD player. It is just like the one that I own that no longer works. So it didn't take me time to adjust to a new model. I like that it is slim, and doesn't jump the music when moved in any direction.
Thanks

Summary: Never buy used!
Comment: I thought I was buying a new player but received a refurbished set. There was battery corrosion in the terminals and the buttons were so warn they were impossible to read. The unit worked sporadically, for a short time, then not at all. I apparently missed the 30-day return policy so they are being recycled. I have other Panasonic players that I enjoy and have been durable. I suspect that quality is not consistent across company lines due to using multiple manufacturers.

Summary: Good but...
Comment: ...a little pricey compared to the more bare-bones CT480 model, though the sound quality is about the same if not a little inferior due to the 480's big bulky and ugly but very nice-sounding headphones.
The main advantage of of this model is the cool silver looks and the external battery pack which is a pain to lug around but would come in handy for example during a long plane trip. If you don't need the extra bells and whistles, I'd recommend getting the 480.
The digital amp technology however really does provide stellar sound quality compared to comparably priced portable CD players, in fact it was better than my sister's $80 Sony. It looks like Panasonic has taken some of the technology from its incredible sa-xr55/57 home audio receivers and put it into the portable CD scale...thank you, Panasonic!!!

Summary: awkward to use
Comment: This is a middle of the road CD/MP3 player. I purchased this player for my gym workouts, and it's been a little dissapointing. I will start off by saying that the sound is great, cd's don't skip, no problems with performance. My complaint is really with the design. The battery unit, in an exterior case, makes the player awkward to put on a treadmill or epilitical trainer, frequently causing the player to fall. The controls on the player are on the side, and very difficult to read. The player does have a digital read-out along with the MP3, but you really can't read it during a work-out because it's attached to your clothing. The other problem I've had is interchanging headphones. Most are not compatible with the MP3 player, and without that MP3/digital read out plug in, the player doesn't work.

Summary: Descent product but poor support and availability of accessories
Comment: I have been searching for the rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery HHR-4AGA/2B that Panasonic recommends in the user manual for the past 2 weeks. This battery is not available in stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, Target, Radioshack...how does Panasonic expect people to get replacements.
I called Panasonic today and the person I talked to said they dont understand what the part number was!! What a joke! Finally they were able to give me a price $9.00+ shipping (probably more than the battery)+ tax....I think this is a big rip off.
Personally I'm thinking of replacing this product. Doesnt make sense to buy something and have to spend a forture on non-rechargeable batteries. I dont have much of a choice with rechargeables..because other than the HHR-4AGA/2B nothing will charge in this system.
Wont recommend people to buy it...unless you are willing to spend extra money on a separate charger + batteries.
