Question 1

Will this allow me to key in CD tracks higher than 9? My French lessons CDs have 71 tracks; can't keep pushing 'forward' all the time.

Accepted Answer

According to the manual:  "NOTE on CDs...This unit can access up to 99 tracks."  I just accessed a disk with 35 songs by pushing the remote button  ">10" and then "3" then "5" and got song 35.

Question 2

FM reception is not good. There is a single screw on the back for an additional antenna, but a dipole antenna needs 2 screws. Any suggestions?

Tuner must be set to US step increments.  Factory default is set for European standard:For any purchasers who may have misplaced the manual: Page 6 AM allocation setting:This system can also receive AM broadcasts allocated in 10 kHz steps.To change the step from 9 kHz to 10 kHz1 Press and hold FM/AM.After a few seconds the display changes to a flashing display of the current minimum frequency.2 Continue to hold down FM/AM.* When the minimum frequency changes, release the button.

Question 3

Does this have a jack for headphones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there IS a headphone jack -- it is on the rear of the boombox.  It also has a "Music Port".  To use the Music Port you need a cord from whatever external music device you may have.  The cord must have a stereo plug which fits your external device's headphone jack _AND_ another 3.5mm stereo plug, at the other end, which plugs into the Music Port.  That way you can play music from your external device through the sprakers of the Panasonic boombox.

Question 4

does it have an sd card slot?

Accepted Answer

No on-board SD...but, it is super easy to buy an SD or MicroSD to USB converter.  They are usually under $5.  Good idea!
