Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)
This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously
stores 40 seconds of CD music (100 seconds for MP3 discs) in an electronic
memory. If the player is bumped or shaken you will not hear any skipping because
the player is reading from the memory, not directly from the disc. Of course if the
shaking continues for more than 40 seconds (100 seconds for an MP3 disc) the
ESP memory will be depleted and that player may skip or stop if the shaking
continues.
To activate the ESP memory function during playback press the ESP/ALBUM
button. The display will show "ESP ON" momentarily, then the ESP meter
appear and begin to fill up with bars. Each bar represents approximately 10 seconds
of music in the memory (25 seconds for an MP3 disc).
When all 4 bars appear
for an MP3 disc). If the player is bumped or shaken one or more of the bars may
disappear as the memory is depleted
will fill up again.
To deactivate the ESP function, press the ESP button again. "ESP OFF" will appear
briefly in the display.
Notes:
• The ESP circuit draws additional current from the batteries. To extend the
battery life leave the ESP circuit ' Off' when the unit is used in a stable location
not subject to bumps and shakes.
• When the ESP circuit is switched ' On' or ' Off' the sound will be interrupted for
2 to 5 seconds. This is normal and not an indication of any problem with the
player.
• When playing an MP3 disc the ESP circuit is activated automatically and cannot
be switched ' Off' .
