Anti-Skip SystemThis 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.
≥An anti-skip memory (max. 48 seconds) fills in inter-
ruptions caused by bumps and vibrations.
The anti-skip system works automatically while the
unit is on and cannot be canceled.

could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.
