B Available features 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 (under the lid) to "ON." Emphasizing the bass sound (SOUND) You can emphasize the bass-boosted sound. Press SOUND to select "BASS " or "BASS ." "No indication" (Normal play) BASS BASS Available features Displayed when the ESP MAX function is working. 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. The selected sound mode is displayed. "BASS " enhances the bass sound more than "BASS ." Notes • If the sound is distorted when using the SOUND function, turn down the volume. • When listening to the radio, the SOUND function does not work. 13
