ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) System

This unit incorporates a special electronic circuit which prevents sound skipping caused by jarring or bumping. This system constantly stores the next 6 seconds of sound to be played. When the unit receives a physical shock which prevents the laser pick-up from "reading" the CD, this system immediately starts playing the sound stored in its memory and continues until the laser pick-up recovers. When listening while walking or when using in a car, you had better press ESP to prevent sound skipping. When the unit is continuously jarred, the stored sound will be played back completely, resulting in an interruption of the CD's sound. When shock ends, playback will restart from that point.

The ESP indication appears in the display window of the unit.

When using ESP system in INTRO PGM, Shuffle or Program play mode

You can enjoy playing with less blank space between the tracks.

When recording on a cassette Press ESP again to release the ESP system as the blank search function of a cassette recorder might not work when it is active.

Notes

• In the ESP system, battery life becomes shorter because the disc rotates faster than normal and the memory circuit is active, and the disc rotating sound becomes louder.
• You can press ESP during play, but as disc rotating speed may change, the sound may be interrupted for a short time.
  • In following cases, noise may be heard or sound skipping may occur.
• when the disc is dirty or scratched.
• when the disc contains certain signals.
• when the unit is subjected to a certain kind of shock.
  In these cases, try to release ESP system.
• If the unit is subject to a strong shock, the disc may stop playing.

To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor itself, never pull it by the cord.
  • The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior. (AC power adaptor for Middle East only.)

On operation

• Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while listening to a part of disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played.
  • The lens on the disc table should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate properly.

On installation

• Never install the unit where it would be subject to:
• heat sources such as radiators or airducts.
• direct sunlight.
  -excessive dust.
• moisture or rain.
• mechanical vibration or shock.
• unleveled surface.
• Do not put the unit on a dashboard nor leave it in a car parked in sunlight since the temperature may rise excessively.
• When the unit is used with the AC power adaptor, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc. If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in malfunctioning of the unit or serious accidents.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the unit. The unit and the disc may be damaged.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates.
  • For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subjected to temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or above 35°C (95°F).
