This system deals with skipping in a variety
of ways:
≥
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.
≥
An anti skip memory (max. 48seconds) fills in interrup-
tions caused by bumps and vibrations.
The anti-skip system works automatically while the
system is on and cannot be canceled.
When bumps continue repeatedly
The elapsed playing time disappears and sound is inter-
rupted.
