Anti-Skip System

This system deals with skipping in a variety of ways:

The thinner and lighter construction makes the unit less suscep- tible to vibration.

An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.

A recovery system immediately returns the laser pickup to its original position if it is knocked off the track by a strong shock.

The 40 seconds anti-skip memory fills in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations.

The anti-skip system works automatically while the
