• Do not use where there are extremes
of temperature (below 5°C or exceed-
ing 35°C).

form on the optical lens inside the unit.
If this happens, take out the disc, leave
the unit for about 1 hour, and then
proceed to operate.
• Do not insert pins, etc., inside the unit.
This unit is equipped with a safety
device which automatically turns the
laser beam off when the disc compart-
ment is opened. If a pin or other metal
object should get inside the unit, how-
ever, this safety device may be
deactivated.
• High volume levels can create poten-
tially dangerous situations by drown-
ing out surrounding sounds. Use cau-
tion when driving while operating the
unit, and obey all applicable laws.
Do not play your headset at a high
volume level. Hearing experts advise
against continuous extended play.

BEFORE OPERATION
Note:
• Press the MENU/ASR button to turn the anti rolling shock function off. “AS” disappears.
Press the button again to turn it on.
• Sound may skip or mute for a few seconds when you press the ASR button during
play.
• Playing may stop when the unit gets strong shock even when the anti rolling shock
function is on.
• When playing back MP3 CD, this function always works even if “AS” doesn’t appear.
(The function is not cancelled by pressing the ASR button.)
Anti rolling shock function
In the previous anti-shock function, when skips occurred while available memory runs out,
then the sound would suffer some interruption.
The new anti rolling shock function is designed to prevent skipping to the greatest extent
possible instead of supplementing the skipped portion of the sound.
This is achieved by expanding the memory capacity, and in addition full attention has been
given also to increasing the unit's signal reading capability.
Moreover, consideration has been given to eliminating the basic causes of skipping, both
from the standpoint of horizontal shock and vertical shock.
Use this function when listening during walk or playing in a car.
When the POWER ON/ ibutton is pressed first time, the anti rolling shock function turns
on automatically. “AS” blinks on the display. Then “AS” stop blinks when the buffer memory
is full of next 45 seconds music data.
