about a 10-second [Max. 12 seconds

(Apporox.)] or 40-second [Max. 48 seconds

(Apporox.)] portion of signals is always

stored in memory. Consequently, when

the unit receives an impact, playback will

continue without interruption even if the

signal from the light pickup is interrupted.

÷ Depending on the extent of the impact, the data in

the memory may be used up, so the playback skip

protection may momentarily be ineffective.

÷ When the D.A.S.C. function is activated, the disc may

stop or start to rotate.

is recommended to release the D.A.S.C. to extend

the play time by reducing the battery power.
