About CD-Rs
This CD player is compatible with CD-Rs
but playback capability may vary
depending on the quality of the disc, the
recording device and application software.
Using other functions
To maximize the skip protection
performance (ESP MAX)
The typical ESP (Electronic Shock Protection)
function minimizes skipping by using a
buffer memory that stores music data and
plays it back in the event of a shock.
The ESP MAX system is an extremely
sophisticated technology. Due to the light
weight and improved anti-shock
characteristics of the optical block, this system
recovers from the skipping much quicker
than conventional technology such as ESP or
ESP 2 .*
MENU
* Although ESP MAX provides excellent
protection, skipping may occasionally occur.
