Symptom

Sound skip guard function (D.A.S.C.)

When the D.A.S.C. function is operating, about a 180 seconds portion of

signals is always stored in memory. Consequently, when the unit re-

ceives an impact, playback will continue without interruption even if the

signal from the light pickup is interrupted.

"Wide CAPTURE" uses a method strong in regard to vibrations in the ro-

tation direction in addition to the conventional D.A.S.C. function, so that

the sound skip guard function is made even stronger.

Mechanism of D.A.S.C.

Storage of digital data

Digital memory

Reproduced

sound

Note :

1. This system uses a microcomputer so it may malfunction due to external noise or interfer-

ence. In such a case, unplug the power cord and remove the batteries, then re-connect the

power cord and insert the batteries again.

2. Erroneous operation may occur when the headphone plug is plugged or unplugged; but this

is not a malfunction.

Cause

Remedy

Setting the D.A.S.C.

The mode changes each time the D.A.S.C. key is pressed.

1 D.A.S.C. off

There is no data compression, so

that listening with high sound

quality is possible.

2 D.A.S.C. on : 180 seconds

Data are held for about 180 seconds.

Turn on D.A.S.C. when moving the

player or using it in areas subject to

vibration.

Maintenance

Simple care

Care of lens

When the lens in the pick-up gets dirty, malfunctions in-

cluding the impossibility of playback may occur. The lens

should be cleaned using a commercially available cam-

era lens blower, etc. Do not touch the lens to prevent

damaging the mechanism. Also do not use a lens cleaner

or disc cleaner product.

Care of main unit

When the unit gets dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. If

the unit is stained seriously, a moistened cloth can be used. Do not use thinner,

benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.

Cleaning the plug

Wipe the headphone plug with a soft cloth to keep it clean.

A dirty plug may cause noise or malfunction.

Caution on disc used

Usable discs

This unit is capable of playing back the Audio CD discs, CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA)

discs and discs carrying the

marking. Other discs cannot be played. 8 cm

single CDs can be played as they are; do not use a commercially-available single

CD adapter.

÷ Certain CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be played due to recording conditions of

the discs.

Handling

Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact

discs.

Never play a cracked or warped disc.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid

danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or

adhesive agent.

Commercially-available alkaline

batteries (LR03)

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.

÷ The reproduced sound is interrupted during switching.

÷ The D.A.S.C. is set to on when the power turns on.
