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
ESP2.*
* Although ESP MAX provides excellent
protection, skipping may occasionally occur.
Set ESP to “ON.”
The ESP indication appears.
To release the ESP MAX function, set ESP to
“OFF.”
Notes
• Playing may stop when the CD player gets a
strong shock even with the ESP MAX function
on.
• You may hear a noise or sound may skip:
— when listening to a dirty or scratched CD,
— when listening to an audio test CD,
— when the player receives continuous shock or
— when using poor-quality CD-Rs or if there is
a problem with the recording device or
application software.
To enjoy more powerful bass sound
(Digital MEGA BASS)
You can emphasize the bass-boosted sound.
Press SOUND to select “BASS ” or
“BASS .”
“BASS ” enhances the bass sound more
than “BASS .”
Note
• If the sound is distorted when using the
SOUND function, turn down the volume.
