FEATURES

Your Optimus CD-3680 (42-5075)/ CD-3690 (42-5076) Portable Compact Disc Player with Digital Anti-Shock uses the latest digital audio technolo- gy to give you the clean, crisp sound of compact discs. You can connect the CD player to your home audio or autosound system or connect a pair of stereo earphones for portable, private listening.

The CD player’s features include:

Digital Anti-Shock System (DAS2)

—rapidly scans 3 seconds (42-5075) or 10 seconds (42-5076) of data from the CD and stores it in memory for un- interrupted play with no sound skip even when the CD player is exposed to shocks or vibration, making this CD player excellent for use in your vehi- cle.

Eight-Times Oversampling with Digital Filtering — improves the CD’s sound by multiplying the stan- dard 44.1 kHz sample rate by eight and using a digital filter to reduce or eliminate distortion.

1-Bit DAC — uses the latest in digital- to-analog conversion circuitry to accu- rately reproduce all sound levels with virtually no distortion.

Automatic Search Music System (ASMS) — lets you quickly locate and play any track on a CD.

Audible Search — lets you rapidly play a CD in either direction to locate a desired section of a track.

Auto Power On/Off — automatically turns on the CD player when you press PLAY/PAUSE, and turns it off when you press STOP/CLEAR or 2 minutes after it finishes playing, to help preserve battery life.
