• Always push in the headphone plug all the way before the power supply is switched ON.
• When the headphone plug is inserted or pulled during playback, the operation of the unit and the liquid crystal display may not coincide.
In such a case, switch off the power supply once to make them coincide.
• When the plug of the liquid crystal display remote control unit has been connected, the operation keys of the remote control unit may not
be accepted. In such a case, disconnect the plug of the remote control unit once, wait for about 5 sec, and then connect it again.

Setting the D.A.S.C.
Each press changes the mode as follows.

1 D.A.S.C. HI
D.A.S.C
Digital data of about 20 seconds is stored in memory.
This is the anti-shock play mode with a large vibra-
tion-resistance effect.
2 D.A.S.C. LOW
G
Digital data of about 6 seconds is stored in memory.
This mode provides a lower vibration resistance but
better sound quality than the D.A.S.C. Hi mode.
3 D.A.S.C. OFF (cancel)
When the player is used in a place free of vibration,
it is recommended to release the D.A.S.C. to ex-
tend the play time by reducing the battery power
consumption.
• The reproduced sound is interrupted during switching.
