(AMS-auto music sensor)
The Digital Anti-Shock System incorporates a special electronic circuit
that prevents sound from skipping when the unit is subjected to shocks
and vibration during play.
When you start playback, the Anti-Shock System turn on and "
"
indicator appears in the display to prevent sound skipping.
DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM
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 sound will skip.
If the vibration stops then the data memory will be restored. If continuous
vibration is applied when the data memory is empty, an error message
" " will be displayed. To reset the CD player press " /OFF" once.
To cancel the Anti-Shock System, press the ANTI-SHOCK button, then
" " indicator disappears in the display
NOTES:
• In the "DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM", battery power consumption
is more because the disc rotates faster than normal and the memory
circuit is active.
