Super Anti-Shock System (SAS)

Your CD player contains special circuits to overcome skipping problems 
caused by shock or vibration.  This means you can listen to 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 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.  If the player is subjected to shocks of over 40 seconds 
duration, some interruption of sound output will occur.  This is normal.  
The sound resumes once the shock subsides.

To turn on the anti-shock system, press ANTI-SHOCK.  If a CD is plying, 
the sound mutes for about 1 second, then (memory symbol) appears.

To turn off the anti-shock system, press ANTI-SHOCK again.  The sound 
briefly stops and (memory symbol) disappears.

Note:  While the SAS system provides for continuous sound output when the
       CD player is subjected to shock or vibration, it will not correct
       errors arising from the use of defective, scratched or dirty discs.
