SHOCKWAVE® Series Concept
SHOCKWAVE® Series models are designed to deliver outstanding audio entertainment in tough outdoor conditions. They're rugged enough to withstand shock and vibration, and water resistant4 too. And all models are easy to use. Looking for a peak outdoor listening experience? You've found it with a Panasonic SHOCKWAVE® model.

Built-in FM Tuner
You can also listen to FM Radio on your SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio Player. The 20-station preset memory makes it easy for you to quickly switch between your favorite stations while on the go.

Playback Time
Enjoy up to 9 hours of playback5 on the SV-SW20 and the SV-SW30 SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio players, all on one AAA battery.

MP31/WMA Multi-Format File2 Handling
Our SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio players can also play WMA music files in addition to MP3s. WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

Drag and Drop Operation3
File transfers are simple with the quick and easy Drag and Drop Operation. This feature allows you to move files from a compatible PC to your SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio player through the included USB cable.




Display Your MP3 Files with ID3 Tagging
MP3 is the most popular and widely used digital audio compression format available today. And because MP3 files are so small, you can store a library of music on your SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio Player. These music files can then be displayed through ID3 tagging, a system that displays titles, artist names and album names while the music in the MP3 files is being played. The information is conveniently displayed on the LCD of the main unit.

Memory Capacity
SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio players are also highlighted by their large memory capacity. The SV-SW30 holds up to 256MB6 while the SV-SW20 features a capacity of 128MB6.

WrapIt™ Headphones
Our SHOCKWAVE® Digital Audio players come with stylish WrapIt™ headphones. WrapIt™ headphones fit snugly on your ears and wrap around the back of your head, rather than over it, for added comfort. They're so unobtrusive, you might forget you even have them on!
