THE ANTI-SKIP MEMORY FUNCTION (10 SEC.)

The digital anti-skip function uses semiconductor memory to prevent the sound from skipping when the unit is subjected to shocks and vibration during play.

1. When the ASP button is pressed during play, the indicator appears in the display and the digital anti-skip function turns on. The digital data equivalent to approximately 3 seconds (10 seconds) of music is stored in a read-ahead memory buffer before it is decoded and played. The display changes from the mark to the mark, indicating that the data has been stored.

2. When the unit is subjected to a shock during play, the data stored in memory continues to be decoded and continue reading new data. As the data is read from memory, the indicator changes to 1 . Once the pickup returns to its original position, new data is stored in memory and the display changes back to the mark.

3. If the set is subjected to repeated shocks and all the data stored in memory is used up, the _i=1^N mark is displayed and the sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the memory base fills up again.

4. to turn off the anti-skip function, press the ASP button again.

NOTE: Keep the digital anti-skip function off when using the set in stable and no vibration area, where it will not receive shocks. The battery power consumption is less than when it is on.

NOTE: When the digital anti-S function is switched on or off, the sound will be interrupted for 1 to 2 seconds, this is normal (the interrupted time is used for the memory on or off).

CONNECTING TO HOME STEREO SYSTEMS

The line out jack is made to accept a stereo mini plug (3.5mm). By using a commercially available audio line cable, simply connect the cable's mini plug to line out jack on your player, and the other appropriate end to CD/AUX input(s) of your home stereo system.
