Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)
This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously
stores 60 seconds of CD music 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 60 seconds, the ESP memory will be depleted and the player may then skip
or stop if the shaking continues.
ESP memory function is automatically activated during playback. The display will
show the ESP meter
and begin to fill up with bars. Each bar represents
approximately 12 seconds of music in the memory. When all 5 bars appear
the memory contains 60 seconds of music. If the player is bumped or shaken one
or more of the bars may disappear as the memory is depleted
. When the
shaking stops the memory will fill up again.
To deactivate the ESP function, press the
ESP
button and the ESP meter will
disappear 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.
