ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION

This CD player is equipped with an automatic 45 second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory
and an Anti-Rolling Mechanism that will eliminate virtually all skipping during most
active uses. When you press the Play/Pause button to begin playback the
player immediately begins to store 45 seconds of music in a solid state memory
that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 45 seconds
ahead of the music you are hearing and storing that information in the memory. If
the player is subjected to shock or bumps of less than 45 seconds duration you will
not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 45 seconds the anti-skip memory
may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.

When playback begins the Anti-Skip indicator comes on and a series of "bars"
appear in the display. When all 5 "bars" appear the Anti-Sk ip memory

contains 45 seconds of mus ic and is "full". If the player is bumped or shaken the
"bars" may start to disappear as the memory is depleted. If all 5 " bars" disappear

the memory is empty and the player may skip if the bumps continue. When the

bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and all 5 "bars" will reappear..

The Electronic Anti Skip System does use additional battery power. Therefore if
you are using this player in a stable location where it will not be subject to bumps
and shocks, press the ASP button to switch the anti-skip circuitry ‘Off’. The Anti­Skip indicator will disappear. This will reduce battery drain and prolong battery life.

Note: Each time you begin playing a disc the anti-skip system will turn ‘On’
automatically.
