ESP
With a conventional portable CD-player you might have experienced that the
music stopped e.g. when you were jogging. The Electronic Skip Protection
prevents loss of sound caused by light vibrations and shocks. Continuous playback
is ensured. However ESP does not prevent playback interruptions during vigorous
running. It also does not protect the unit against any damage caused by dropping!
In this set ESP is default ON. It is possible to set ESP off.
•Press MODE/ESP for more than 3 seconds.
y ESP disappears.
•Press MODE/ESP again for more than 3 seconds.
