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,

-- listening to an audio test CD or,

-- the player receives continuous shock.

vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is

illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially

dangerous to play your headsets at high volume

while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.

You should exercise extreme caution or

discontinue use in potentially hazardous

situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones/earphones at high

volume. Hearing experts advise against
