DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM (DAS2)

Your CD-3480 contains special circuits to overcome sound skipping problems
caused by shock or vibration.  This means you can carry the player anywhere 
you go or use it in your vehicle.  When you turn on the anti-shock system, 
the CD player continuously saves the next few seconds of music in memory.  
During a shock or vibration that would normally make a CD player skip or 
pause, the CD player plays directly from memory.

During play, press DAS2 to turn on the anti-shock system.  The sound
briefly stops, then L.| appears on the display and quickly increases to
(a full memory symbol) as the music is stored in memory.

When the CD player is subjected to a shock during play, the music stored
in memory plays and the amount of storage in memory symbol begins to 
decrease.  When the shock is over and the CD player can properly read the
CD again, music is once again stored in memory, and memory symbol increases
to memory symbol showing full.

NOTES:  If shocks are received repeatedly, all music in the memory is
        quickly used.  When memory symbol appears (showing empty), the
        sound might ship.

        The anti-shock system consumes more battery power.  When you use
        the player in a stable location, turn off the system to conserve
        battery power.

        To turn of the anti-shock system, press DAS2 again.  The sound
        briefly stops, then memory symbol disappears from the display.
