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 ESP

.*
* Although ESP MAX provides excellent
protection, skipping may occasionally occur.
Set ESP (under the lid) to “ON.”
To turn off 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/CD-RWs or if
there is a problem with the recording device or
application software.
