The following is indicated on the display:  
ôInfo  
ESP is the abbreviation forElectronic Shock Protection” system of the Silvercrest KH 2278  
portable MP3-CD Player. The ESP system is automatically switched on when playing audio  
and MP3 CDs. The system ensures that playback of CDs, MP3-CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs is not  
impaired when the player is exposed to shocks and vibrations.  
The digital data of the loaded CD, equalling a playback period of 60 seconds, is temporarily  
stored in a read-ahead memory buffer. As soon as this memory is full – recognisable by the  
bar in the memory display of the LCD display – the next data from the loaded CD is over-  
written (once again 60 seconds of playback).  
If the player is exposed to a shock during playback, then the data stored in the read-ahead  
memory buffer is read out for interference-free playback. This gives the laser scanner time  
to re-stabilise and read in new data from the CD. After the data from the read-ahead memo-  
ry buffer have been collected, new data are transferred to the memory.  
|
Operating Instructions 15  
ôPlease note!  
The ESP system cannot prevent damage to the MP3-CD player as a result of jolts or vibra-  
tions or if the player is dropped! Ensure that the MP3-CD player is transported or stands as  
vibration-free as possible and that it cannot fall down from its location point.  
The MP3-CD player can be irreparably damaged by shocks and vibrations or if it falls down!
