Product Description

Panasonic brings ShockWave ruggedness and Power Last battery efficiency to the RQ-SW44V personal cassette player with AM/FM tuner. The RQ-SW44V delivers high-quality audio reliably and under tough conditions. As a member of the ShockWave line of personal audio products, this unit features a tough rubber cushioned body that resists routine bumping and is water resistant. A Twist Lock mechanism and dual hinges ensure tapes will stay in place even if dropped. The entire tape mechanism actually floats on rubber bushings, which offer added protection to the delicate inner workings. The Power Last power system combines a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time. The RQ-SW44V delivers up to 25 hours of music - on just one "AA" alkaline battery. The RQ-SW44V is equipped with a Digital Synthesizer tuner with 20 station presets, enabling the user to store 5 AM and 5 FM in each of two modes. This makes this model perfect for frequent travelers, since one group can be reserved for out-of-town stations. A selectable AM frequency step (9kHz/10kHz) allows users to tune into their favorite stations while in any country. For extra clear reception, a Normal/City FM reception selector is included. And, Panasonic's XBS Extra Bass System lets users enjoy rich, robust sound particularly in the low frequencies. For easy operation a large animation display, five preset keys, a battery checker and a lap function (similar to a stopwatch) with five timer settings are provided. Complementing the digital tuner is an auto reverse cassette deck. The RQ-SW44V comes with a ShockWave handgrip and lightweight headphones and a protective detachable belt clip. In addition, four batteries are included in the package.

Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's Shockwave series models are designed to deliver outstanding audio entertainment in the toughest outdoor conditions. The RQ-SW44V yellow AM/FM personal Shockwave cassette player is no exception. Rugged enough to withstand shock and vibration, the RQ-SW44V incorporates a water-resistant design with a rubber-cushioned body, dual hinges, an antirolling mechanism, and a twist lock that keeps the lid in place.

The AM/FM digital tuner has a 20-station memory (10 AM and 10 FM) and provides clear reception in city or rural surroundings. Auto-reverse playback is a great touch for those who may be too busy working out to bother with buttons. XBS (extra bass system) is available as well.

A single AA battery will power the RQSW44V for up to 25 hours, and this model comes with four batteries included. Added attractions are the large LCD display and a lap function that beeps at regular intervals when the tape or radio is playing. Shockwave lightweight headphones and a detachable belt clip are included.

Two strikes and you're out!.......2002-08-10

The first problem I had with the product was the earphone plug. When it rotates in the plug hole the radio signal breaks up or completely disappears. Returned that one and got another one....... Well, on the second one I attempted to preset a radio station. To do this you need to press the "hold" button. I follow the instructions and the "hold" button got stuck. Couldn't get the radio to switch off or change stations because the "hold" was broken. I removed the battery for more than 30 seconds. Guess what??? The "hold" was still there. This meant that I couldn't get a radio station on because the "hold" kept the radio off. I am not getting another one. These incidents have occurred within the past four days. I have used the item less then 20 minutes and already all these breakdowns.

My Advice? Buy This Player!.......2002-02-25

I recently reviewed the Panasonic RQ-SX67V. I was very disappointed with that cassette player! This one, however, which I found at the going out of business sale of Service Merchandise, is really very good and what I was looking for. Play a cassette, shake it hard, and not one skipped beat! I'm very pleased! The price listed on Amazon is what I paid at the sale, which I think is a good price....

My wife loves it!.......2002-01-09

I gave this model to my wife as a replacement for her Sony player . She likes it better, and is completely satisfied with it. It is amazing that it runs on only one AA cell, and lasts as long as it does. The sound is very good, and the only downfall is, the head-set gets uncomfortable after awhile.

A very durable walkman, but mediocre overall........2001-12-31

I have owned one for four months. I have mixed feeling
about it. It is a very durable walkman. I accidentally dropped it twice on concrete and there was no damage. Everything
worked fine on the walkman. My battery and cassette did not fly out upon impact. I am rough on my walkmans, which is
why I brought this Panasonic. The battery compartment is inside the cassette compartment, which prevents the battery
from coming out upon impact. The cassette lid locks securely. The FM reception switch works well. It helps prevent
interference from stronger stations. It's now time for the negatives. Panasonic should have equipped this walkman with
good, conventional headphones. These "in ear" type headphones come loose often. When I ride my bike on a bumpy
road, I have to re-adjust the headphones too often. I suspect joggers have the same problem. This Panasonic model has
the weakest super bass (they call it XBS) I have heard. The bass is too light. Panasonic's own RQ-CR15V delivers more bass. The sound quality is decent, but it needs more bass. The FM reception switch
is located inside the cassette compartment, which is inconvenient to operate when riding a bicycle. The play time (tape)
with one battery is good, but it's not 25 hours. If you have the XBS on and the volume is high, you can expect about 17
hours of play time. I suspect that is why Panasonic gives you four batteries. And last, this walkman is design to play
normal position (type 1) tapes only. You won't benefit from playing high bias (Type II) tapes. Type II tapes are generally
superior to type I. On this walkman, normal position (type I) tapes sound better. If you invested in a lot of high bias tapes,
look for a walkman that has a switch for normal position (type I) and high bias (type II) tapes. That is something I
neglected to do. Overall, I am a little disappointed with the Panasonic RQ-SW44V, but it is very durable.

adequate, but not great.......2001-11-02

I ordered this unit to replace a Sony walkman that died after about 4 years (a relatively long life for a walkman, in my experience). For the money, I can't really complain. The sound quality is quite good; nevertheless, the bass boost is inferior to the Sony's, the controls are harder to use when the unit is "belt clipped" to my waistband, and the earphones are not as comfortable. The lack of an auto-stop feature is also disappointing.

On the flip side, the earphones stay in place much better than did the Sony's, and the unit is more lightweight and gets more hours out of one battery than the Sony did out of two. It's a recent purchase, so I can't comment on its durability.

Overall, it's perfectly adequate for working out at the gym, but I must say that when it dies I think I'll go back to the Sony.

The Sony FDL-22 portable Watchman color TV is a must for sports fans, daytime TV junkies, or anyone who hates missing favorite programs while away from home.

The device runs for approximately 3-1/2 hours on four AA batteries, but also connects to a separately sold AC adapter for longer use. People who don't want to broadcast the volume to everyone will appreciate the mini headphone jack, along with adjustable volume and brightness dials.

Not Sony's Greatest Product.......2006-04-13

Beggars can't be choosers...got this for free over 10 years ago. The screen is too bright, and there is no contrast dial to rectify that. Adjusting the brightness dial does little to improve the image quality, and adjust it too much only changes the screen to appear like the negative of a film strip. I would like to stand it upright at times, but its design makes that a challenge. It does feel comfortable when held in my right hand, the speaker has good clarity, and it still works like new, but I wish I could replace the picture quality. The contrast, or the lack of it, makes this only a 3 stars in my opinion.

Clunky but useful.......2004-06-11

This was given to me by my ex-wife when she made a trip to Tokyo many years ago. The fact that it still works flawlessly is a testament to its durability. It's a no-frills unit, heavy on your neck, but it works as advertised. The tuner is surprisingly robust and sensitive, managing to catch stations a tabletop TV would have trouble with. The screen, while passive matrix, is bright and sharp enough. The plastic screen doesn't scratch easily. The shape when held in the hand feels like a big, hefty gray-black ice cream cone.

The sound is loud enough for its size, often so loud it distorts at the 75% level. The addition of the headphone jack is welcome. I wish they thought of a place to keep an optional earphone thing on the unit itself, like a small compartment or a place where you can wrap the cord around.

Coulda been smaller, lighter, but for its time, it was the best they could come up with. Great for keeping in the glove compartment. The neck strap/antenna is a great idea, and makes this unit easy to port around.

Once you get to a certain level of math classes, a regular old calculator just isn't good enough anymore--you need a high-functioning calculator that can perform algebraic, trigonometric, and statistical problems in addition to general mathematical tasks. The Texas Instruments TI-30XA scientific calculator can do this for you. It is extremely handy when it comes to figuring tricky fractions. It can add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions when entered in a traditional numerator/denominator format. This calculator can also do a variety of conversions, from fractions to decimals, degrees to radians to grads, DMS to decimal to degrees, and polar to rectangular. The display screen holds up to 10 digits.

For high school or college students tackling advanced math, this is a great tool (and a thoughtful back-to-school gift), and with more professors allowing the use of calculators during classes and exams, it's a necessary one. Easy to use and easy to slip into a backpack, the TI-30XA will soon become indispensable for both the serious and the striving math student. --Dana Van Nest

The original calculator I received became faulty within 1 week of use. CambridgeWorld sent me a new one to replace it in 2 weeks.

Horrible.......2006-11-29

i cannot use it its too confusing. im used to the casio calculators. not recommended.

great calculator.......2005-12-13

For the price, it is hard to beat this calculator. I've had this model for years and it is still going strong, with no problems or even a change of battery. Numbers are easy to read and the buttons are fairly large, with second functions labeled clearly. Lots of functions, and it is easy to use for stats. I also like the fact that it has an OFF button, which many models don't have. If you need a graphing calculator, of course this will not do, but for everyday use this model is a durable workhorse that I highly recommend.

A dissenting opinion on a terrible calculator.......2005-06-23

I bought two of these calculators and neither performs well - the buttons are terribly sensitive to the point that we often accidently enter the wrong numbers, so we have to pay extra attention. Further, my calculator is currently displaying entirely different numbers than I am putting in - perhaps the battery is dying, but I have no idea how long it may have been doing this. I will definitely be looking for a different calculator next time around.

Great simple calculator!.......2005-02-25

I have had this calc for roughly 7 years and i'm on my 3rd set of batteries. I mostly use my ti-83+ but whenever I need something quick or I can't use a graphing calc, I grab my trusty TI-30Xa! I love this calc!
