Note on CD-R and CD-RW
This unit can play CD-DA format audio CD-R and
CD-RW that have been finalized§upon completion
of recording. It may not be able to play some CD-R
or CD-RW due to the condition of the recording.
§Finalizing is a process that enables CD-R/CD-RW players
to play audio CD-R and CD-RW.

Anti-Skip System

This system deals with skipping in a varietyof ways:
≥An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused
when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.
≥A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick-
up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by
a strong shock.
≥The 40-second anti-skip memory fills in interruptions
caused by bumps and vibrations.
The anti-skip system works automatically while the
system is on and cannot be canceled.
When bumps continue repeatedly
The elapsed playing time disappears and sound is inter-
rupted.
Note!
≥The anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.
≥The anti-skip memory holds up to 100 seconds of data
when playing MP3 files created with a compression
rate of 128kbps. (see pages 4 to 6).
