BOther Operations Using other functions Selecting play mode
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 ESP2 (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.*
To protect your hearing (AVLS)
The AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System) function keeps down the maximum volume to protect your ears.
