Description Of Anti-Shock - Numark CDN34 User Manual

CDN-34
DESCRIPTION OF ANTI-SHOCK BUFFER MEMORY
This CD Player is equipped with a total of 24 Seconds of RAM Buffer memory.
12 Seconds of this is used for the Anti-Shock Buffer and the other 12 are used for various
other seamless loop, stutter, and instant start functions. Anti-shock is to allows the unit to be
bumped around hard for 6 seconds per side and not stop. When the CD is first placed in
the tray and a track is selected, the CD player quickly reads the beginning of the track and
stores it into a buffer memory, the same way a computer stores information in RAM. This
initial operation takes about 5 seconds. As you play the track, the CD Player continues to
read ahead of the music and stores this information in the buffer. If the unit is bumped the
CD Player will continue to play from this buffer until the unit recovers and can start filling the
buffer again. The buffer should be long enough to allow recovery from most situations,
however, continual shocks can erase the buffer memory. If the unit should ever run out of
buffer and still be receiving shocks, then the last 2 seconds will repeat until continuation can
occur. The music never stops.
N O T E : The CD player can not store buffer information during the setting of a cue point with the jog
wheel. If you start a CD without giving it an opportunity to load buffer it will still start instantly and load buffer
slowly. It will recover 1 second of buffer for every 6 seconds of music played at 0% pitch.
