IMPORTANT NOTES
z
Your hearing is very important to you and to us so please take care when operating
this equipment. It is strongly recommended that you follow the listed guidelines in
order to prevent possible damage or loss of hearing:
ESTABLISHASAFE SOUND LEVEL
•
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the
impression that the volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to
you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this BEFORE YOUR HEARING
ADAPTS set the volume at a low level.
•
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without
distortion.
•
•
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE THE
SOUND LEVEL FURTHER.
The following list of typical sound levels may assist you in recognizing just how loud
you have set the volume level.

SUPER ANTI-SKIP OPERATION
This player incorporates a superior electronic anti-skip circuitwhichprevents
interruption of the sound output when the unit is subjected to shock,
vibration or rolling during disc playback. If in use the player is likely to be
subjected toshock, vibration or rolling ( i.e. while walking or if used in a vehicle )
press the Super ASPbutton to provide uninterrupted playback.
When the Super ASP button is pressed in the play mode the display will show
and the function is initialised. When
shows in the display the data buffer is
full.
SuperASPIndicator
SuperASPIndicator Super ASP Indicator
The sound will mute for approximately 1 second while the buffer fills. Once
filled the buffer will give approximately 60 seconds of protection against
interruption of sound output. If the player is subjected to shock or rolling of
over 60 seconds duration some interruption of sound output will occur. This
is normal and to be expected and the sound will resume once the player
has stabilized from the shock or rolling disturbances.
To turn this function off press the Super ASP button.
Notes:
1. Whenusing theSuper ASP function the battery power consumption increases
because the disc rotates faster than normal and the dynamic menory is
active.
2. While the Super ASP functionprovides for continuous sound output
when the unit is subjected to continuous shock, vibration or rolling it will not
correct errors arising from the use of defective, scratched or dirty discs.
3. When powering theplayer solely from batteries, only use the Super ASP
function where necessary to preserve battery life.

PLAYER 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

CD compartment lid and clean the lens as follows :
Dust or Dry Particles
Using a camera lens brush / blower, blow on the lens couple times, then
wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once
more.
