Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)
This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously
stores 40 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 40 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 CD playback. The display
will show the ESP meter and begin to fill up with bars.
Each bar represents approximately 8 seconds of music in the memory. When all 5
bars appear the memory contains 40 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.
