Protection
(A.S.P.) Function
This function minimizes sound interruption caused by
vibrations, by utilizing audio data that has been stored
in the buffer ahead of time (up to 40 seconds worth).
Normally, the “A.S.P.” indicator lights up on the display
and the A.S.P. function is in effect.
When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually
stored in the buffer, the “A.S.P.” indicator changes
a
Fully stored
To cancel the A.S.P. function
Press the A.S.P. button in stop mode or during playback.
The “A.S.P.” indicator goes out on the display.
To activate the A.S.P. function again
Press the A.S.P. button again.
“40 sec” appears momentarily and the “A.S.P.” indicator
lights up.
Notes:
• The position of the A.S.P. button can be changed dur-
ing play, but this may cause a slight interruption in the
sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.
• During A.S.P. operation, the disc rotates at a higher
rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data.
This may cause the batteries to run out faster and
could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.
Using the unit with an audio system
The A.S.P. uses digital signal compression technology.
It is recommended that the A.S.P. be kept in the OFF
status if the unit is connected to a home audio system.
