Guard-Against-Dropout Function
Slight shocks to a CD player can cause the audio track to hesitate.
The 20X Max Portable CD-ROM Drive has a special function to
reduce this kind of dropout. The CD-ROM drive reads ahead on
audio CDs and keeps 2.8 seconds of the current track in memory.
This reduces interruptions to playback that can occur if the CD-ROM
drive is moved or bumped.
Attention
Do not set the CD-ROM drive near electronic equipment.
Do not use the CD-ROM drive near electronic equipment such as
televisions or stereo speakers. The CD-ROM drive processes a
weak electric signal that might be affected by electromagnetic
fields.
Using Sound Functions (Stereo Model Only)
This section provides simple examples of Windows 3.11 CD-ROM
drive sound function applications. To use similar functions with OS/2
and Windows 95, refer to the user's guide provided with each

installed (see page 2-14).
If the audio device driver installed correctly, the Audio Application
group is available.
