into the unit.
Notes:
• To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must
be disconnected from the DC IN jack.
• It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the
rechargeable batteries.
Caution:
Do not open the battery lid too wide. It can break if you
forcibly open it beyond approximately 90°.
• Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-
mately 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.
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is
normal and is not a malfunction.
Using dry-cell batteries (not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “R6” (LR-6)
alkaline batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable batteries.

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 10.
Note:
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.
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adap-
tor is connected. The primary circuit is always “live” as
long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical
outlet.

Hyper-Bass Sound effect
Anti-Shock Protection EX
You can enjoy powerful bass sound.
This function has been developed to achieve excellent
performance against sound interruption caused by vi-
brations. You will be able to enjoy listening to music dur-
ing 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).
To get the hyper-bass sound effect
Set HBS switch to “1”.
Set HBS switch to “2” to set more effect.
ANTI SHOCK
indicator
To cancel the effect
Set HBS switch to “OFF”.
When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually
stored in the memory, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator
changes.
[Fully stored]

To cancel the Anti-Shock Protection EX
Concerning Compact
Discs
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.
Only compact discs bearing this mark can be used
with this unit.
However, continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-
shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the audio CD
format can be played back, though some may not be
played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording condition.
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.
• TheAnti-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.

Cautions
Rechargeable batteries
a Play surface (shiny surface)
Wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
Wipe from the center toward the outer edge.
If moisture has formed on a disc
• Only the BN-R1211 battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very
short time after recharging, it means that the
batteries’ service life is over. Do not use them any
more.
When moisture has formed because the disc was
brought suddenly into a warm room from a cold
environment, wipe off the moisture using a soft dry
cloth.
When storing discs
Avoid locations which are
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten
their service life.
• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when
they have not been used for a long period of time,
the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case
like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the
batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals
of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-
circuiting which is dangerous.
• Susceptible to high levels of humidity or dust.
• Directly exposed to heat from a heating appliance.
• On top of a car dashboard or near the rear window.
Handling precautions
• On the label side (the side with writing)
Do not write anything using a pencil, ball-point pen,
etc. Do not use adhesive paper or labels.
• On the disc (shiny) side
Handle this side carefully to keep it free from

• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the recharge-
able batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is
dangerous.
