ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION (ESP)
This CD player is equipped with an automatic 40 second Electronic Skip Memory
and an Anti-Rolling Mechanism that will eliminate virtually all skipping during most
active uses. When you press the ESP button the player immediately begins to
store 40 seconds of music in a solid state memory that is impervious to shock. The
player is always reading the disc 40 seconds ahead of the music you are hearing
and storing that information in the memory. If the player is subjected to shock or
bumps of less than 40 seconds duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps
last longer than 40 seconds the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player
may skip or stop.
1.) Press the Electronic Skip Protection (ESP) button to activate the
Skip Protection Control function. The ESP indicator appears.
2.) The player will store the CD’s digital data in its Anti Skip memory
and then playing back from the memory. The ‘Bars’ increase.
3.) When all 4 "bars" appear the Anti-Skip memory contains 40 seconds
of music and is "full".
4.) If vibration occurs on the disc, the player will continue the playback
for 40 seconds.
5.) If the player is bumped or shaken the "bars" may start to disappear
as the memory is depleted. If all 4 "bars" disappear the memory is
empty and the player may skip if the bumps continue.
6.) When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and all 4
"bars" will reappear.
NOTE:
• The battery power consumes more quickly when the Electronic Skip Protection
control is used.
• Set the Electronic Skip Protection ‘Off’ when player is used in a place free of
vibration.
