POWER SOURCES
1.Using Battery Power
TIPS ON BATTERY USE
Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure to
follow polarity ( + and - ) as indicated.
Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium etc.),
or old batteries with new ones.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will not
be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in
damage to your player.
When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe
manner that complies with all applicable laws.
Installation of batteries should only be done by an adult (for safety).
WHEN THIS SYMBOL SHOWS IN THE DISPLAY
If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol   shows in the
display, then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace the alkaline
batteries (also if display does not show anything, the batteries are dead).
ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE
Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening
levels.
Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical life
for 2 size AA alkaline batteries is above 8 hours of continuous use.
Insert two size AA alkaline batteries
according to the + and - markings in
the battery compartment.

NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because
rechargeable batteries generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of
1.5 volts). Your playing time will be much less than normal fresh alkaline
batteries.

2.Using AC Wall Outlet Power
Your player may be powered from any household 120V AC outlet, using the AC
adaptor included. Insert the adaptors small connector plug into the DC 4.5V Jack
marked on player (on the rear of the set), and plug the adaptor into
an AC outlet.
NOTE: If the AC Adaptor is connected, and regular batteries are installed, the
player automatically switches to the AC Adaptor power and the batteries
are not used.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock, do not use this AC Adaptor with an extension cord or outlet,
unless it can be fully inserted without exposing any part of the blades. Do not use any
other adaptor to power this set or you may damage your set.
CONNECTING TO HOME STEREO SYSTEMS
The LINE OUT jack is made to accept a stereo mini plug (3.5mm). Simply connect the
cables mini plug to the LINE OUT jack on your player, and the other appropriate end

This set is designed with 20 second ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) PLUSTM - which
allows virtually unlimited gentle skip protection, and 20 second normal shock protection.
Press the ESP button to turn on the ESP PLUSTM system. Press
it again to turn it off.
When the ESP button is pressed during play, the   (memory
basket) indicator will appear in the display, the digital data
equivalent to approximately 20 seconds of music is stored in the
read-ahead memory buffer before it is decoded and played.
The   mark changes to the   mark, indicating that the
memory buffer (basket) is full.
When the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the
data stored in memory continues to be decoded and played.
This gives the pickup time to stabilize and continue reading
new music. As the data is used from memory, the indicator
changes from   to  . Once the pickup returns to its
original position, new data is stored in memory and the display
changes back to the   mark.
If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data stored
in memory is used up, the   mark is displayed and the
sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the memory basket
has time to fill up again.
To turn off the 20 second ESP PLUS
TM
function, press the ESP
button again.
Keep the digital ESP function off when using the set in a stable,
no vibration area, where it will not receive shocks. The batteries
will last longer when the ESP function is off.
The ESP PLUS
TM
function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory
that stores music data. The new ESP PLUSTM system can store more music than
normal anti-skip systems.
EMPTY MEMORY

SOME MEMORY USED
ALL MEMORY USED UP
When the ESP PLUS
TM
function is switched ON or OFF during
play, the sound will be interrupted for a few seconds. This is
normal.
NOTE:
- The music may stop if the player receives continuous shocking.
- You may hear noise or skipping if the CD is dirty or scratched.
- If during ESP play, you press PLAY/PAUSE, or SEARCH buttons,
the memory basket will empty itself temporarily.
20 SECOND ESP PLUSTM SYSTEM
This new design allows gentle swaying of the set without music skipping as in walking.
This set will not work during jogging.
