Anti-Skip System
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 pickup to its original position if it is knocked off the track by a strong shock. �The 40-second anti-shock memory fills in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations. The anti-skip system works automatically while the system is on and cannot be canceled.
