CD in a car parked under direct sunlight.

Using other functions

To minimize skipping (ESP

2

)

The ESP (Electronic Shock Protection)
function minimize skipping by using a buffer
memory that stores music data and plays it
back in the event of a shock.
The new ESP

2

(ESP Squared) system uses a

new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which can
read and store music data more efficiently
and with superior sound quality, providing a
level of continuous skip protection not found
in traditional buffer memory units. This
decreases the frequency of sound skipping
and the need to utilize the buffer memory.
Use this function when listening in a car or
while walking.*

* Although ESP

2

provides excellent protection

against skipping, it will not prevent skipping
while jogging or running.

Press ESP.
The ESP indication appears.

To release the ESP function, press ESP again.

Notes

• Playing may stop when the player gets a strong

shock even with the ESP function on.

• You may hear a noise or sound skip when:

— listening to a dirty or scratched CD,
— listening to an audio test CD or,
— the player receives continuous shock.

• Sound may drop for a while if you press ESP

during play.

• When you use an optical digital connecting

cord, the ESP function will be disabled.

To enjoy more powerful bass sound
(Sound function)

You can enjoy a powerful bass-boosted sound.

Press SOUND to select “MB (Mega Bass)” or
“GRV (Groove).” “GRV” is more effective.

Note

• If the sound is distorted when emphasizing

bass, turn down the volume.

To lock the buttons

You can lock your player against any
accidental operations.
You can still operate the player with the
remote control.

Slide HOLD in the direction of the arrow.
When you press any button, “

Hold” appears in

the display and you cannot operate the player.

To unlock, slide HOLD back.
