Guard-Against-Dropout Function

Slight

shocks

to

a

CD

player

can

cause

the

audio

track

to hesitate.

The

20X Max

Portable

CD-ROM Drive has a

special

function

to

 

reduce

this

kind

of

dropout.

The

CD-ROM drive

reads

 

ahead

on

 

audio

CDs

and

keeps

2.8

seconds

of

the

current

track

in

memory.

This

reduces

 

interruptions

to

playback

that

can

occur

if

the

CD-ROM

drive

is

moved

or

bumped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attention

Do

not

set

the CD-ROM

drive

near

electronic

equipment.

Do

not

use

the CD-ROM drive

near

electronic

equipment such as

televisions or

stereo

speakers.

The

CD-ROM drive processes a

weak

electric

signal

that

might

be

affected

by electromagnetic

fields.
