Best Panasonic Car Speakers

The Panasonic SL-S361C is a versatile, value-packed choice for consumers who are seeking a moderate-priced player that functions as both a portable CD unit and an in-car CD player. While the sound quality is crisp and clear, this player also has several impressive features that could easily go unnoticed at first glance. One such feature is the automatic backlighting on the LED screen when you connect the unit to an external power source. When you are running the SL-S361C on batteries, this feature is disabled to extend battery life. The Panasonic SL-S361C also uses anti-skip technology, which pre-scans your music 40 seconds before you hear it to ensure smooth playback. Panasonic gives you the option of turning the anti-skip feature on or off, which is useful since the technology uses slightly more battery power. These battery-saving features are a plus, but the Panasonic SL-S361C can operate up to a lengthy 25 hours on 2 AA alkaline batteries. Besides the extras, Panasonic's SL-S361C includes all the essential CD features, including repeat track, CD pause, 24-track programmability, and random play. For deeper bass performance, there is an optional Super Extra Bass System (XBS). The Panasonic SL-S361C also comes with stereo headphones, an AC adapter, a car cassette adapter, and a DC (cigarette lighter) cord. Pros: Great sound, compact design 40 seconds of anti-shock memory for skip-free playback Car cassette adapter included Cons: None
