OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SPECIAL FUNCTIONS HOLD Switch The HOLD switch (on the left side cabinet) must be in the ‘Off’(left) position to start the CD player. If you plan to carry the CD player in a handbag, briefcase, school bag, back pack, etc, slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right) position. While the HOLD switch is ‘On’all of the controls on the CD door are disabled. This prevents the player from starting accidentally by something pressing against the PLAY/PAUSE or RADIO button.
Electronic Skip Protection (ESP) This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously stores 40 seconds of CD music in an electronic memory. If the player is bumped or shaken you will not hear any skipping because the player is reading from the memory, not directly from the disc. Of course if the shaking continues for more than 40 seconds, the ESP memory will be depleted and the player may then skip or stop if the shaking continues.
NORMAL CD PLAYBACK • Make sure you have installed the batteries. • Make sure the HOLD switch is set to the ‘Off’(left) position. • Make sure to set the VOLUME control to a low setting before you put on the headphones. IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD Rewriteable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from the original discs and ‘burning’the tracks onto the blank media.
6.) Playback will continue until the end of the disc, then the player will stop automatically and the display will again show the total tracks and playing time on the disc. After approximately 30 seconds the power switches ‘Off’ automatically to conserve the batteries and the display goes blank. To stop playback before the disc ends press the STOP button at any time. Press the STOP button after the disc has stopped to shut the power ‘Off’completely.
MODE BUTTON Pressing the MODE button during CD playback cycles the player through the following four special playback modes: REPEAT 1 REPEAT ALL INTRO SHUFF (Shuffle) Playback.

This feature is useful when you are trying to find a particular song but you cannot remember the title. 1.)
