Reproduced sound
1 D.A.S.C. HI
Digital data of about 20 seconds is stored in memory.
This is the anti-shock play mode with a large vibra-
tion-resistance effect.
2 D.A.S.C. LOW
Digital data of about 6 seconds is stored in memory.
This mode provides a lower vibration resistance but
better sound quality than the D.A.S.C. Hi mode.
3 D.A.S.C. OFF (cancel)
When the player is used in a place free of vibration,
it is recommended to release the D.A.S.C. to ex-
tend the play time by reducing the battery power
consumption.
Each press changes the mode as follows.
