Excellent for Long Road Trips:
We purchased the Panasonic SL-S362C Portable with Remote because we were headed on a 2,000 mile trip with our family of six and we can never find appropriate radio stations as we travel. We had read other reviews and weren't sure we needed the remote, but liked the price. The remote was a life saver. We velcroed it to the dashboard within both driver and passenger reach and put the player behind the 4WD shifter on the floor. The only time we had to reach for the player was to change the CD. We found the... more info
An Excellent Buy:
You get a durable, very ergonomic CD player. The display illuminates when an external DC source is plugged in. A car adapter kit and a wireless infrared remote control are included.

The remote works fine but it's not realy necessary... more info
Looks nice, plays well, but it's delicate:
The SL-360x series is animprovement over past Panasonic models.
Briefly, here are the strong points. The player has good looks and usability. It's slim, and the buttons have never faulted me, although they could be accidentally pressed if you keep the player in a backpack or a suitcase. The anti-shock memory (40 sec) works well even when driving off-road. The sound quality is average (you don't buy such players to enjoy the nuances of a Debussy prelude anyway). The nicest feature of the player is that... more info
