Notes on the LINE OUT jack
If the CD Player you purchased includes a set of line cords, you con
conned it to the input terminols of a stereo system for enhanced sound.
Adjust the volume control of the stereo system to a desired level.
.Please note the volume control of the CD Player will have no effect on
the sound level when the LINE OUT jack is used for connection.
.Do not use the headphones jack for connection to a stereo system as
sound may be distorted.

The Digital Anti-Shock System "DASS" incorporates a special electronic
circuit that prevents sound from skipping when the unit is subjected to
shocks and vibration during play.
When listening while walking or in a car, you should press "ANTI-
SHOCK" button to prevent sound skipping. When it is pressed during
play the " ~1"'I-..:r"I..;." indicator appears in the display and the Digital Anti-
Shock System turns on.
When the unit receives a physical shock which prevents the laser pick-up
from "reading" the CD, this system immediately starts playing the sound
stored in its memory and continues until the laser pick-up recovers.
If the unit is subjected to continuous shocks and all the data stored in
memory is used up the " ~1"'I-..:[8I..:." mark will flash and the sound will skip.
If Ihe vibration SlopS then Ihe dala memory will be restored. If continuoUS
vibralion is applied when Ihe data memory is empty, an error message "
E,." will be displayed. To reset the CD player press" POWER OFF" once.
NOTES:
.In the "DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM", battery power consump-
lion is more because the disc rotates fasler than normal and the
memory circuit is active.
.When Ihe Digital Anti-Shock System is switched on or off, Ihe sound will
be interrupted for a short time. This is normal.
.Under some conditions, noise may be heard or sound skipping may
occur.
-when the disc is dirty or scratched.
-when the disc contains certain signals.
-when the unit is subjected to a certain kind of shock.
In these conditions, try 10 release "DIGITAL ANT/-SHOCK SYS-
TEM."
