Anti shock works by reading audio data and storing it in
memory (up to 40 seconds worth). The unit then fills in
interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations with data
from the memory. This unit also incorporates a powerful
anti-shock mechanism that prevents skipping caused
when play speed is changed by swinging of the unit.

«The ANTI-SHOCK control cannot be set while play is

the setting for this control.
e During anti-shock operation, the disc rotates at a high-
er rate than usual in collecting extra audio data. This
could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.
Using the unit with an audio system
The anti-shock uses digital signal compression technol-
ogy. It is recommended that the anti-shock be kept in
the OFF position if the unit is connected to a home
audio system.
Using the Unit with Optional Accessories
Using the unit with an audio system
Using a stereo connection cable {not included), you can
listen to CDs through your audio system.

Rechargeable batteries
«Only the P-3GAVA/2B, SH-CDB8D batteries can be
recharged.
olf the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very
short time after recharging, it means that the batteries’
service life is over. Do not use them any more.
eRecharging already charged batteries will shorten their
service life.
sWhen recharging batteries for tha first time or when
they have not been used for a long period of time, the
play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like
this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries.
This will restore them to their regular state.
*Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals
of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-
circuiting which is dangerous.
*Do not peel off the plastic covering on the recharge-
able batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is
dangerous.

Listening caution
Оо not play your headphones or earphones at a high
volume, Hearing experts advise against continuous ex-
tended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discon-
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones is an open-air
typa designed to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn
up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around
you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “com-
fort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what
sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
e Start your volume control at a low setting.
eSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it com-
fortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
# Sat the dial and leave it there.
