Disc rotation noise
The portable CD player uses a power-saving operation method so that disc rotation noise will intermittently be emitted. But, it is not a failure.
6For MP3, repeat steps 2-5 to select other tracks.
For Audio CD, repeat steps 4 and 5.
When you program exceeding 64 tracks, the program se- quence number returns to “01” and will overwrite the previ- ous setting.

Notes:
•During this operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rota- tion noise.
•This function can be switched ON and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound be- cause the disc’s rotational speed changes.
