Panasonic SL-S202 Portable CD Player

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 25 '00
Pros: Plays scratched CDs well, good reliability, plays CD-Rs
Cons: Old model, looks, small buttons and LCD, 3 seconds of anti-shock is too short
Panasonic SL-S202 CD player has 3 seconds of anti-shock memory. It is slim and relatively lightweight. The case of the player is just a little bigger in width than CD itself. But this player is an old model, modern players has even slimmer cases,...

Pros: Quality of Sound
Cons: Very Basic
I wanted a portable CD Player for a long time, one of those things where you really want it, but not quite enough to spend the money. Well finally I received it for my birthday.

No frills, but gets the job done

by samiam0917 , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Good, basic functionality and durability for a good price,
Cons: No advanced features
I am not a "techno-junkie," thus don't purchase electronic items often. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-technology by any means, I just don't have the interest, inclination, or budget to support the newest/greatest/best electronics out there....

SoLid-S202

by samadust , Jun 12 '00
Pros: very durable, sleek design
Cons: skips a whole lot when you move it
I bought my first portable cd player in 1997 for my birthday. I had just began working in a record store and was amazed by the size of the window of music that opens when you own a cd player. Being a huge fan of music from the Middle East and Brazil and...

Cheap and Reliable

by KPReyn , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Reliable, Cheap, Works Extremely Well
Cons: Displays "Sorry" on LCD screen when skips, kind of insulting
This is a truly great product. I have taken it with me on trips all over the United States, and it hasn't let me down once. As a poor college student who can't afford a stereo, I run it through a guitar amplifier to play CDs in my dorm room. It is...

PRICE VS FUNCTION:THE TRADE

by tman8383 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: great sounding playback, exceptional jolt protection, light
Cons: Poor quality headphones, flimsy design
After much research, I chose this cd player for it's exceptional value and performance. The playback is flawless, with a 40 second buffering chip, no jolt will disrupt your great sounding flow. I toss it in my backpack and

forget about it....

Good Deal

by SpencerG , Jan 25 '00
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: only 3 seconds of anti-shock memory
This portable CD player has great sound and is very inexpensive. It has an XBS Bass System, 3 seconds of anti-shock memory generation 2, and a relatively compact design. Panasonic always offers great quality and good prices, and this portable CD player...

Never Buy It

by Ice_Princess , Apr 07 '00
Pros: easy to carry, simple to use
Cons: skips when jostled or when in the wind
The Panasonic portable cd player which I own is not worth the money I paid for it. The simplest movement makes it skip and if you are outside with the wind blowing the static becomes very apparent. If I could go back I would choose a different...

Solid Cheap Portable

by rneuma1 , Oct 01 '00
Pros: great price very sturdy and steady
Cons: not spectacular turn it all the way up and you still want more
This is the best cd player I have brought for the price. For under sixty dollars you will get a cd player that is durable, has a long battery life, anti shock and skipping mechanism, and pretty good sound. I think you will not get better for the price...

Panasonic SL-S202

by sakic , Mar 21 '00
Pros: Low price, size
Cons: Shock Protection
One of the earlier generation portable CD players. The unit is decent in size even in today's market, and has adequate XBS sound. This is a basic unit in the current line of CD players and is recommended for those who want a player that is inexpensive...

decent, but you could do better

by techguy137 , Oct 12 '00
Pros: easy to use, takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
Cons: skips if you look at it cross-eyed
I bought one of these 3 years ago in Korea. It came with the 220V/115V power adapter and that's probably the best part of the CD player since I live in Europe now.

Initially, I got it for a month's use and then I was going to return it...

An affordable CD Player

by adamadi , May 06 '00
Pros: Under $60 Dollars, Rechargeable Batteries, 3-Sec Antishock
Cons: Only 3 - Sec antishock
I bought this cd-player in July 1998 for about 55 bucks.
I still have it and it works perfectly. The amount of times a have dropped this item is unbelievable but it never once gave me a problem.

You can't ask for more in a Sub $60...

cheap and durable

by Chevyman16 , Dec 12 '99
Pros: durability, plays scratched cd's and cd-r's/some cd-rw's
Cons: useless earphones, crappy antiskip, features
I bought the SL-S200 in July 99. The 200 is exactly the same as the 202, there is no difference between the 2, but the 200 is no longer sold. I bought it for $99 Canadian. I got it because Panasonic is one of the best names and my 4th Kenwood was...

Cheap, and it get's the job done!

by Marioa , Apr 20 '00
Pros: Great sound, durable
Cons: no real complaints
I don't know about you, but forking over $250 for a portable cd player is just too much. Especially when for a much cheaper price you can get something that get's the job done beautifully! I have had this CD player for over 3 years and it still does...
