Anti-Skip System

This system deals with skipping in a variety
of ways:

The thinner and lighter construction makes the unit
less susceptible to vibration.

An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused
when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.

A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick-
up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by
a strong shock.

The 40-second anti-skip memory fills in interruptions
caused by bumps and vibrations. 

The anti-skip system works automatically while the
unit is on and cannot be canceled.

When bumps continue repeatedly

The message “SORRY” appears on the display and
sound is interrupted.

Note

!

The anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.
