HOLD

Turning on the HOLD feature does the following:

•With power OFF — All buttons are locked out, and you must turn off the HOLD switch before you can operate the player.

Hit the Road

The best time to use HOLD is when you‘re transporting your CD player, so that you don’t accidentally activate buttons, or open the compartment door.

ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION (ESP)

The ESP system keeps your CDs from skipping when the player is jarred. If you’re using AC power, ESP automatically comes on; if you’re using batteries, you have to turn it on yourself.

Press the ESP button to activate the feature (the ESP tank appears in the display and “fills up” as the player stores music into memory). When the player is jarred, the memory is used and the ESP tank drains.

If the player undergoes continual jarring that empties the tank completely, you might experience skipping.

PROGRAM MODE

You can program as many as 20 tracks into memory in order to change the play order of a disc.

ESP is Kind of Like ESP

Electronic Skip Protection is kind of like Extra Sensory Perception because the CD player reads what’s coming up on the disc and stores it in memory so that your music isn’t interrupted when the player is jarred.

It's a good idea to turn off ESP when the player is in a stable place because it consumes additional power, and wears down batteries more quickly.
