Symptom
Sound skip guard function (D.A.S.C.)
When the D.A.S.C. function is operating, about a 180 seconds portion of
signals is always stored in memory. Consequently, when the unit re-
ceives an impact, playback will continue without interruption even if the
signal from the light pickup is interrupted.
"Wide CAPTURE" uses a method strong in regard to vibrations in the ro-
tation direction in addition to the conventional D.A.S.C. function, so that
the sound skip guard function is made even stronger.
Mechanism of D.A.S.C.
Storage of digital data
Digital memory Reproduced
sound
Note :
1. This system uses a microcomputer so it may malfunction due to external noise or interfer-
ence. In such a case, unplug the power cord and remove the batteries, then re-connect the
power cord and insert the batteries again.
2. Erroneous operation may occur when the headphone plug is plugged or unplugged; but this
is not a malfunction.
Cause Remedy
Setting the D.A.S.C.
The mode changes each time the D.A.S.C. key is pressed.
1 D.A.S.C. off
There is no data compression, so
that listening with high sound
quality is possible.
2 D.A.S.C. on : 180 seconds
Data are held for about 180 seconds.
Turn on D.A.S.C. when moving the
player or using it in areas subject to
vibration.

Maintenance
Simple care
Care of lens
When the lens in the pick-up gets dirty, malfunctions in-
cluding the impossibility of playback may occur. The lens
should be cleaned using a commercially available cam-
era lens blower, etc. Do not touch the lens to prevent
damaging the mechanism. Also do not use a lens cleaner
or disc cleaner product.
Care of main unit
When the unit gets dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. If
the unit is stained seriously, a moistened cloth can be used. Do not use thinner,
benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.
Cleaning the plug
Wipe the headphone plug with a soft cloth to keep it clean.
A dirty plug may cause noise or malfunction.
Caution on disc used
Usable discs
This unit is capable of playing back the Audio CD discs, CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA)
discs and discs carrying the marking. Other discs cannot be played. 8 cm
single CDs can be played as they are; do not use a commercially-available single
CD adapter.
÷ Certain CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be played due to recording conditions of
the discs.
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact
discs.
Never play a cracked or warped disc.
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid
danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or
adhesive agent.
