Other Play Methods
The letters such as A in the various illustrations refer to the descriptions in the “Location of Controls” section (see below).
This system deals with skipping in a variety
of ways:
≥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 40-second anti-skip memory fills in interruptions
caused by bumps and vibrations.
The anti-skip system works automatically while the
system is on and cannot be canceled.
When bumps continue repeatedly
The message “SORRY” appears on the display and
sound is interrupted.
Note!
The anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.
