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 "bars" appear in the display. When all 5 "bars" appear the Anti-Skip memory contains 45 seconds of music and is "full". If the player is bumped or shaken the "bars" may start to disappear as the memory is depleted. If all 5 "bars" disappear the memory is empty and the player may skip if the bumps continue. When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and all 5 "bars" will reappear.

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. 12 HD2850_ib.p65 12 8/10/01, PM 03:49 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If you experience a problem with this unit, check the chart below before calling for service.
