Enhanced Anti-shock mode

While the Anti-shock mode is ON, the player has stronger resistance against external shock and prevents sound skipping caused by sudden movement. However, it may show the lower readability of disc having inferior recording status. In this case, we recommend releasing the Anti Shock mode.

Pressing the Mode button for a few seconds while playing will set the Enhanced Anti-shock on and off.
