Sequential Play
This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance
against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able
to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging).
This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance
servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory
ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).
Normally, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator lights up on the display
and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect.
Anti-Shock Protection EX
Other Play Methods
When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually stored in
the memory, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator changes as follows:
To cancel the Anti-Shock Protection EX
Press the A.S.P. button in stop mode or during playback.
The “ANTI SHOCK” indicator goes out on the display.
To activate the Anti-Shock Protection EX again
Press the A.S.P. button again.

When using dry-cell batteries
(not included)
Insert two “AA” (LR6) alkaline batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat-
teries.
Notes:
Be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor (not included) beforehand,
if it is used.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are almost out
of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Notes:
• The length of time the unit can continue further operation after
the battery indicator starts flashing differs depending on the
type of batteries used.
• The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable batteries,
other than those designated by JVC, are used.
Tip:
Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection EX will save the battery
power more or less. For details, see “Anti-shock Protection EX”
on page 4.
If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use,
disconnect the power source (the AC adaptor
and batteries) once. Then, re-connect the power
source and continue operation.
Notes:
• To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be dis-
connected from the DC IN jack.
• It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable
batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately
300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full
charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the batteries
have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.
• Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered off. (It is
not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm
while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a mal-
function.

Notes:
• During Anti-Shock Protection EX 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.
• The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON
and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight
interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed
changes.
