ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION
This CD player is equipped with automatic 45 second Electronic jog free Skip
Protection and that will eliminate virtually all skipping during most active uses.
When you press the Play/Pause
button to begin playback the player
immediately begins to store 45 seconds of music in a solid state memory that
is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 45 seconds
ahead of the music you are hearing and storing that information in the memory.
If the player is subjected to shock or bumps of less than 45 seconds duration
you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 45 seconds the
anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.
When playback begins the Anti-Skip indicator
comes on and a series of

ANTENNA INFORMATION
FM
The stereo headphone cable serves as the FM antenna when listening to FM
stations. Make sure that the headphone cable is unwound completely in order to
provide the best reception.
AM
The AM antenna is located inside the cabinet of the CD player. If AM reception is
weak, try changing the position of the CD player itself until the internal antenna is
pointing in the general direction of the radio transmitter. This should provide
improved reception.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CABINET
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak
solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.
CLEANING THE LENS
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not
work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:
DUST OR DRY PARTICLES
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens
several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove
dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.
FINGERPRINTS
To remove fingerprints from the lens, use a cotton swab
starting in the middle and working to the outside edge.
Use only very light pressure on the lens to avoid forcing
it out of alignment.
CLEANING THE DISC
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out.
NOTE:
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
