ESP / Power Save Mode

With a conventional portable CD-player you might have experienced that the music stopped e.g. when you were jogging. The ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION prevents loss of sound caused by light vibrations and shocks. Continuous playback is ensured. However ESP does not prevent playback interruptions during vigorous running. It also does not protect the unit against any damage caused by dropping! On this set ESP is default on. It is possible to set ESP off and enter the Power Save mode. The Power Save mode helps to extend battery

lifetime for longer playback.
