the elapsed time appears.  To return to the current track number, hold 
down MEMORY/E-BASS again.

Turning E-Bass ON and OFF

Digital Anti-Shock System (DAS^2)

Your CD-3740 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 10 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 ON.  If you set DAS to ON while the CD player is playing a CD, 
the sound briefly stops and DAS appears.

To turn off the anti-shock system, set DAS to OFF.  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 when not in use, turning 
it off during play, or changing the track you are listening to, slide HOLD 
to ON.  No controls work except /\, VOLUME, DAS, and HOLD.

Slide HOLD to OFF to operate the controls again.
