This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging).

This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).

Normally, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator lights up on the display and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect.

ANTI SHOCK indicator

When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually stored in the memory, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator changes as follows:

[Fully stored]

To cancel

Press the ASP button.

The “ANTI SHOCK” indicator goes out on the display.

(on the unit)

Notes:

During Anti-Shock Protection EX 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 rotation noise.

The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.

To activate again

Press the ASP button.
