Product Description

Panasonic is proud to introduce a deluxe personal CD player. Up to 40 second anti-shock memory assures flawlessly smooth playback performance even while walking or jogging. Heat-resistant polycarbonate body is designed to withstand outdoor use. Slide-lock full open top cover assures reliable security and easy CD changes. Using optional AA batteries and two Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries (included), this CD player provides extended playtime of 56 hours, ensuring you'll have music whenever you need it. The digital servo system helps the unit maintain tracking, even in difficult circumstances and Panasonic's exclusive MASH 1-Bit D/A conversion system ensures all your CDs will sound great. The player also has CD-R/RW playback capability.

Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's ultra-slim SL-CT580 CD player offers the convenience of pocket sizing and remote control operation alongside long battery life and reliable anti-skip protection. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 40-second memory reserve for added back up.

Panasonic's Power Last system uses a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time, helping the player derive up to 56 hours of playback from two supplied Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries in the included external battery case.

A hold function prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. You can set it to lock the player, the remote control, or both.

The SL-CT580's digital-to-analog converter is Panasonic's single-bit MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) DAC, designed to virtually eliminate distortion and deliver all the subtleties and nuances that make digital recordings so rich.

Playback options include 24-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play, and a four-preset equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference--choose from S-XBS (extra bass system), live, train (high cut). Auto power-off prevents battery drainage after your CD has ended, and the unit's aluminum top cover and polycarbonate body protects the player from the elements.

What's in the Box
CD player, stereo headphones, user's manual, and an AC power adapter.

Flimsee, not worth the money.......2002-12-06

This CD player is not worth the price, it has okay sound. I had mine for a couple of mounths when the top broke off. That was fine the warrany covered it, but 1 year latter the same thing happened. Anoother thing I would charge my batteries over night and they would only last a couple of hours.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!.......2002-05-31

I'm getting ready to buy a second one for a backup - I never want to be without this. I hike every day and am very very hard on things. This CD player will hold up and the rechargeable battery feature is fabulous. I never worry about my batteries - just plug it in when I get home. It's also very light and has fantastic sound. Buy it! Don't screw around looking at all the others if what you need is a good basic CD ploayer that you can take with you.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!.......2002-05-31

Bought it in Japan.......2002-01-05

I bought this cd player last year in Japan (it came with more accessories - remote, worldwide adaptor, waterproof case, etc) and it is awesome! I use it to jog with and have it most of the time hooked up to this old stereo of mine to use the speakers on it (the cd player on the stereo broke a while ago).

The batteries are really nifty, super thin, and last a long time. This is the thinnest cd discman I've ever seen - thinner than all the others I saw in Japan, too. The sound is great no matter what headphones you use. Definitely worth buying!

Great Product.......2001-09-17

If you have done your homework you know that there is another Panasonic CD Player one step up from this (SLTCT780). Now that model is nice but a little more expencive. The SLCT580 is a VERY good CD Player. First sound - The sound quality is unbeleavable. This player definatly deserves better headphones that the ones that are included. And with the X-Bass it is mind blowing! Second - Battery Life, there is not much to say, with the rechargeable batters just plug it in every 2 days and it will never die. Third Skipping - Or should i say how it never skips. With the No-Skip protection this CD player is perfect. And if i does skip the 40 sec. "Back Up" will make it sound like it never even skiped in the first place. Forth Size - OH The thinness!!! It is amazing with the rechargeable batterys or the AAA's it is probibly the thinest CD player out there. That is probibly it, i mean this CD play is definityly worth the $ and it is orver all a great way to listen to all your favorite groups.

Maximum effective throughput 1Mbps.......2004-10-05

I tested access with a lot of different wireless PC Cards, PCMCIA, etc, from D-Link, Intel, Dell, LinkSys. including D-Link DWL-G650. The maximum effective throughput I was able to achieve was 1 Mbps. I am using the latest firmware from D-Link (the one they say corrects all the problems). It does not depend on configuration (I tested all possible combinations). It is compatible with any hardware, but with a very poor performance of 1Mbps. So little for a product that promises so much.

Disappointing.......2004-05-12

Quite disappointed with this product:

- Sometimes doesn't work, and restarting it through the configuration page doesn't help. Needs to be restarted by powering it off and back on.

- Terribly buggy javascript in the web configuration pages. The AP cannot be configured with a standards compliant browser like Mozilla, and requires the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer (and even MSIE complains about lots of javascript errors). That also means you need to have a Windows computer to be able to configure the AP.

- When filtering Mac addresses, doesn't give you the Mac address of a new computer in the drop-down list, so you could easily add it to the allowed clients. You have to disable filtering, restart the AP, connect to it from the new client, add the MAC address from the drop-down list, and finally re-enable MAC filtering. The alternative to this ridiculously convoluted procedure is to add the new MAC address by hand.

- SNMP doesn't seem to work. It can be configured with IP addresses for SNMP traps, but seems to never send anything there.

Finally found out why Dlink products dont work.......2004-04-27

I finally found out why we consumers are suffering with tech support for this product and the same products of other brands.

A tech for Dlink finally admited to me on the phone that when we purchase the latest and greatest G class routers and access points to create a wireless network, why we cannot get it to work even with tech support.

It is because of Tech support. Simple reason is that they are not up to speed on the glitches and major details needed to get us going. He actually admited that to me.

Besides the poor manuels, the company did not train the techs as well as they should have. New Technology folks!

To us, it is something better and faster and we jump on it like children to candy. New and Improved in advertising has been tempting us for generations and we jump in before they get the bugs out. This is why some work easy and some dont.
It all depends on a thousand variables.

If we dont have the patience to wait until they get all the bugs out, we will have to suffer on the phone with tech support.

We are in a sense the beta testers for the various tech support teams.

We can only blame ourselves in this particular instance.

Good at what it does ..........2004-02-19

I had two of these to extend my network across the house without running wires. They are set in bridge mode, and connect and work perfectly with each other. Everything about these were simple and worked when I first tried it.

I recently bought a DI-624 Wireless Router and ended up selling my DWL-2000APs and buying a DWL-G810 to connect to my switch in the back room. The G810 was made for that reason, to bridge a wireless network to a wired one. The DWL-2000AP was made for bridging, or as a stand alone AP. it also has the functionality to be a client, but only with other 2000APs. Makes sense.

If you want to connect a switch with multiple wired devices on it, to a wireless network get a DWL-G810 from D-Link.

Does not work with the DI-624; product description incorrect.......2004-02-13

My experience with the DWL-2000AP has been very disappointing, not necessarily because it's a bad product, but because of the way it's being marketed and supported.

I have two separate networks in my house - one on each end. Network A consists of the D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router which is wired to a DSL modem and a computer. The other network, Network B, consists of two computers and a network print server wired together via a 10/100 switch.

I bought the DWL-2000AP based on the fact that one of its operating modes is that of a wireless client. (Wireless client mode allows a wired computer [or more via a switch] to communicate with another access point wirelessly ... at least that is my understanding.) The wireless client mode should allow me to connect Network B to Network A so that computers on Network B have access to the Internet. Furthermore, D-Link's product description web page clearly indicates that the DWL-2000AP works with the DI-624 wireless router.

After enabling the wireless client mode and configuring it to communicate with my DI-624 router, the two devices connected and I had full Internet access for all of my computers. This worked flawlessly...until activity between the DI-624 and the DWL-2000AP ceased for more than five minutes. Thinking that I had configured something incorrectly, I checked my settings, and restarted the DWL-2000AP via its built-in web pages. Viola... it worked! Again, I browsed the Internet, and paused to read. And again, with no activity between the DWL-2000AP and the DI-624, the connection dropped.

I investigated this issue for the better part of a Sunday afternoon, testing various configurations, but to no avail. I then emailed D-Link technical support and got a response within two hours indicating that I should call the support hotline due to the complexity of my issue.

I called. After 25 min on hold (the call is toll-free), a support specialist answered, logged my issue, and walked me through a series of checks, but was unable to correct the problem.

Lastly, the support specialist indicated that the wireless client mode was only supported from one DWL-2000AP to another. This, however, did not make any sense to me since the DWL-2000AP supports point-to-point, and point-to-multi-point bridging with another DWL-2000AP. Why add a proprietary wireless client mode if you already have a proprietary wireless bridging mode? Realizing that the issue was beyond his remedy, I thanked him for his help and hung up.

Obviously, based on how the device behaved for me, the DWL-2000AP was quite capable of communicating with the DI-624 router without issue. I temporarily resolved my disconnecting issue with a home-brewed Windows app that sent out a ping to the router every 4 minutes. This kept the connection alive so that communication was maintained. Since I was able to resolve the disconnecting problem, I believed that D-Link had a firmware bug and that the issue would probably be corrected in a future firmware update. (I guess I'm too optimistic.)

A few days later, I was checking D-Link's support site for updates, and noticed that a firmware update for the DWL-2000AP had been posted. When I updated the firmware, the WAP and the router ceased communicating with each other altogether. Again I phoned D-Link tech support.

I explained to the support specialist what my issue was, how I was able to temporarily resolve it, and asked when would D-Link have a correction. The support specialist vehemently indicated that the DWL-2000AP would only function with another DWL-2000AP in wireless client mode, and that there were no plans for supporting any other device with the DWL-2000AP in that mode.

At that point I realized that my complaint was moot, and that, although D-Link was sitting on a gold mine if they supported what I asked, they did not care.

After I hung up the phone, I promptly RMA'd the wireless D-Link products I bought and returned them.

I researched my issue further and found that Netgear easily supported my networking needs.

It's sad to know that a networking company has the hardware capable of supporting your needs, but is not interested in doing so. I'll think twice before buying D-Link wireless products again no matter how nice the price might be.
