It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the condition of the recording. §Finalizing is a process that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW. Follow steps 1–5. In step 2: Connect the stereo earphones and wired re- mote control to the headphone jack [Ë]. (Plug in firmly.) In step 5: ≥The volume range is 0-25. (Press and hold to change the volume successively.) In step 5: ≥The volume changes when pressed while the level is displayed. If any other display is shown, it changes to show the current level. (The volume returns to 10 when you dis- connect the power source.) In step 5: ≥If you have connected a cable to the [OPT OUT/OUT] jack, you cannot change the vol- ume and sound will not be output through the headphones. An error tone (beep-beep- beep-beep) sounds when you press [i] or [j] of the remote control. Note! ≥Play stops automatically when all the tracks have been played. ≥If the unit has been connected to the car audio sys- tem, set this unit’s volume to 10, then adjust the vol- ume level on the system. Auto-off function If you leave the unit in stop mode for about 10 minutes, (30 seconds if a disc is not loaded) it turns off to save the memories. Resume function The player stores the track where you stopped play and if you press [1/;] (main unit) or [1/∫] (remote control), play resumes from the beginning of that track. Note! ≥Opening the lid while in the stop mode or replacing the disc while in the off mode cancels the function. (It may remain active if you replace a disc in the off mode.) ≥Play may resume from the beginning of the next track if you stopped play near the end of a track. ≥The resume function is automatic and you cannot turn it off. For your reference: “)” indication This indication appears for about 30 seconds if [1/;] (main unit) or [1/∫] (remote control) is pressed when no disc is loaded in the unit or if the disc is not properly secured. “*” indication This indication appears for about 10 minutes when the lid is opened. (However, the indication does not appear when the unit is powered off.)

of ways: ≥The thinner and lighter construction makes the unit less susceptible to vibration. ≥An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit. ≥A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick- up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by a strong shock. ≥The 48-seconds anti-skip memory fills in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations. The capacity of the anti-skip memory de- pends on how you are using the unit. ≥When listening through stereo earphones – up to a maximum of 48 seconds. (It cannot be turned off.) ≥When connected to an audio system with a stereo connection cable (analogue) through [OPT OUT/OUT] – up to 10 seconds. ≥When an optical cable (digital) is connected to [OPT OUT/OUT] – anti-skip memory is off. By automatically changing the function, the unit allows you to listen to high-quality, uncompressed digital audio when connected to an audio system. When bumps continue repeatedly The elapsed playing time disappears and sound is inter- rupted. Note! ≥While the system is on, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in collecting extra audio data. This could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise. ≥The 48-second anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.
