DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM (DASı) (CD-3640 ONLY)
Your CD-3640 contains special circuits to overcome sound skipping problems
caused by shock or vibration. This means you can carry the CD player
anywhere you go or use it in your vehicle. When you turn on the anti-shock
system, the CD player continuously saves the next few seconds of music in
memory. During a shock or vibration that would normally make a track skip
or pause, the CD player plays directly from memory.
To turn on the anti-shock system, set DAS on the left side of the CD
player to IN. If the CD player is playing a CD, the sound briefly stops
and DAS appears.
To turn off the anti-shock system, set DAS to OUT. The sound briefly stops
and DAS disappears.
Note: The CD player consumes additional battery power when you use the
anti-shock system. When you use the CD player in a stable location
turn off the system to conserve battery power.
LOCKING THE CONTROLS
To prevent accidentally turning the CD player on or off, or changing the
track you are listening to, slide HOLD to ON. No controls work except
eject, VOLUME, DAS (CD-3460 only), and HOLD.
Slide HOLD to OFF to operate the controls again.
AUDIBLE SEARCH
Use audible search during play to rapidly search forward or backward for a
specific section of a track. During audible search, the CD plays at a
lower volume and a higher speed. The current track's elapsed time appears
on the display.
To search forward, hold down fast forward (right arrow) (>). To search
backward, hold down rewind (arrow left) (<). To resume normal play,
release the control.
AUTOMATIC SEARCH MUSIC SYSTEM (ASMS)
You can use ASMS before or during regular or programmed play to quickly
locate any track on a CD.
While the CD is stopped, repeatedly press rewind or fast-forward to move
backward or forward to the desired track. Press PLAY/PAUSE to play the
track.

and (loop symbol) ALL disappear.
RANDOM PLAY
In random play, the CD player plays all the tracks once in random order,
then automatically stops. To start random play at any time, repeatedly
press PLAY MODE until RANDOM appears.
Note: If you select random play during programmed play, the CD player
stops the programmed sequence and starts random play of all tracks.
