13.ELECTRONIC ANTI-SHOCK OPERATION

IThis player incorporates an electronic anti-shock circuit to help prevent interruption of the sound output when the unit is subjected to shock or vibration during disc playback. If in use the player is likely to be subjected to shock or vibration (i.e. while walking or if used in a vehicle) press the anti-shock button to provide uninterrupted playback.

When the anti-shock button is pressed in the play mode, the display will show

and the function is initialized. When shows in the display, the

data buffer is full.

ASP Indicator

The sound will mute for approximately 1 second while the buffer fills. Once filled the buffer will give approximately 10 seconds of protection against interruption of sound output. If the player is subjected to shocks of over 10 second duration some interruption of sound output will occur. This is normal and to be expected and the sound will resume once the player has stabilized from the shock.

To turn this function off, press the ANTI-SHOCK button again.

Notes:

1. When using the ANTI-SHOCK function the battery power consumption increases because the disc rotates faster than normal and the dynamic memory is active.

2. While the ANTI-SHOCK function provides for continuous sound output when the unit is subjected to shock or vibration, it will not correct errors arising from the use of defective, scratched or dirty discs.

3. When powering the player solely from batteries, only use the ANTISHOCK function where necessary to preserve battery life.

14.PLAYER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Cabinet

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent and water, then wipe clean.

Dust or Dry Particles

Using a camera lens brush / blower, blow on the lens a couple of times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.

Fingerprints

If the lens cannot be cleaned using the brush / blowing method, use a cotton swab starting in the middle and work to the outside edge.

15.DISC CLEANING AND  TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
