If you plan to carry the CD player in a handbag, briefcase, school bag, back pack, etc, slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right) position. While the HOLD switch is ‘On’ all of the controls on the CD door are disabled. This prevents the player from starting accidentally by something pressing against the PLAY/PAUSE button. HOLD After you begin CD playback you may also slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right) position to disable all the controls on the CD door. You can then place the player in a handbag, backpack, etc, and do not have to worry that the player will be accidentally turned off by something pressing against the STOP button or Track Skip buttons. 10 HD8116_B100305.p65 10 4/10/2005, 15:28 Electronic Anti-Skip Protection This CD player is equipped with automatic 60 second Electronic Anti-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 60 seconds of music in a solid state memory that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 60 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 60 seconds duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 60 seconds the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop. When playback begins the ASP indicator begins ‘flashing’ in the display. When the ASP indicator remains ‘On’, the Anti-Skip memory is ‘Full’ and contains 60 seconds of music. If the player is bumped or shaken the ASP indicator will flash again as the memory is depleted. The player may skip if the bumps continue. When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and the ASP indicator remains ‘On’. 11 HD8116_B100305.p65 11 4/10/2005, 15:28 Normal CD Playback • Make sure you have installed the batteries. • Make sure the HOLD switch is set to the ‘Off’ (left) position. • Make sure to set the VOLUME control to a low setting before you put on the headphones. IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems with your player. 1.) Slide the CD-AM-FM function selector to CD position. 2.) Slide the CD door OPEN switch to the right to unlock and open the CD door.
