Using other functions

To minimize skipping (ESP^)

The ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) function minimize skipping by using a buffer memory that stores music data and plays it back in the event of a shock. The new ESP' (ESP Squared) system uses a new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which can read and store music data more efficiently, providing a level of continuous skip protection not found in traditional buffer memory units. This decreases the frequency of sound skipping and the need to utilize the buffer memory. Use this function when listening in a car or while walking.'*

■ * Although ESP^ provides excellent protection against skipping, it will not prevent skipping while jogging or running.

Press ESP. The ESP indication appears.
