DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM (DAS^2)

Your CD player 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 40 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.

Note:  Your CD player requires 90 seconds to store a full 40 seconds of
       music.  Before 90 seconds, it will play however much it has stored
       if the DAS^2 feature is necessary.

To turn on the anti-shock system, set DAS OUT..IN to IN.  If the CD player
is playing a CD, the sound briefly stops, then DAS appears on the display
and the sound continues.

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, set DAS OUT..IN to OUT to save battery power.

To turn off the anti-shock system, set DAS OUT..IN to OUT.  The sound
briefly stops, then DAS disappears from the display.

RESUME

You can set the CD player to remember the track it was playing when you
stopped the CD or it turned itself off.  That way, when you play the CD
again, the CD player resumes playing at the beginning of that track.

To set the CD player to resume, set OFF/RESUME/HOLD to RESUME at any time.
Then, after you have pressed STOP/CLEAR [] to turn off the CD player, you
can simply press PLAY/PAUSE >|| to resume play.

To cancel resume, set OFF/RESUME/HOLD to OFF or let the CD play to the
end.  Opening the CD compartment cover within two minutes after pressing
STOP/CLEAR [] also cancels resume.

Notes:  If you press STOP/CLEAR [] very close to the beginning or end of a
        track, the CD player might play the track before or after that
        track instead when you press PLAY/PAUSE >||.  This is not a
        malfunction.

        If you load a different CD while OFF/RESUME/HOLD is set to RESUME,
        play might not start from Track 1 on the new CD.  If this happens,
        press STOP/CLEAR [], set OFF/RESUME/HOLD to OFF, then press PLAY/
        PAUSE >|| again.

LOCKING THE CONTROLS

You can protect your CD player from accidental program changes by locking
MEMORY/E-BASS, PLAY MODE, >>|, |<<, >||, and [].
