DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM
The Digital Anti-Shock System incorporates a special electronic circuit that prevents sound from skipping when the unit is subjected to shocks and vibration during play.
When you start playback, the Anti-Shock System turn on and "" indicator appears in the display to prevent sound skipping.
When the unit receives a physical shock which prevents the laser pick-up from "reading" the CD, this system immediately starts playing the sound stored in its memory and continues until the laser pick-up recovers.
If the unit is subjected to continuous shocks and all the data stored in memory is used up the sound will skip.
If the vibration stops then the data memory will be restored. If continuous vibration is applied when the data memory is empty, an error message "" will be displayed. To reset the CD player press " /OFF" once.
To cancel the Anti-Shock System, press the ANTI-SHOCK button, then " " indicator disappears in the display
NOTES:
•In the "DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM", battery power consumption is more because the disc rotates faster than normal and the memory circuit is active.
•When the Digital Anti-Shock System is switched on or off, the sound will be interrupted for a short time. This is normal.
•Under some conditions, noise may be heard or sound skipping may occur.
-when the disc is dirty or scratched.
-when the disc contains certain signals.
-when the unit is subjected to a certain kind of shock.
In these conditions, try to release "DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM."
