"JOGGABLE" ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION

This CD player is equipped with an automatic Jog-proof 60 second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory that will eliminate all skipping under normal conditions. This means that you can carry this unit while you are jogging and still enjoy skip free music. When you press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button to begin playback the player immediately begins to store 60 seconds of music in a solid state memory that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 60 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 60 seconds duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 60 seconds the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.

When playback begins the Jog-proof Anti-Skip indicator begins to flash rapidly in the display. When the Anti-Skip memory contains 60 seconds of music and is "full", the indicator flashes slowly. If the player is bumped or shaken the indicator again flashes rapidly. The player may skip if the bumps continue. When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and the flashing indicator will slow down.

The Jog-proof 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 Jog-proof indicator will disappear. This will reduce battery drain and prolong battery life.

Note: Each time you begin playing a disc the Jog-proof anti-skip system will turn 'On' automatically.

CARE AND 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, and then wipe clean.

CLEANING THE LENS

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:

DUST OR DRY PARTICLES

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