About ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) function

When a CD is playing, the ESP function is always activated. The ESP function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory that stores music data for about 10 seconds.

Notes

•Playing may stop when the player gets a strong shock even with the ESP function.

•You may hear a noise or sound skip:

–when you listen to a dirty or scratched CD.

–when you listen to an audio test CD.

–when the player receives continuous shock.
