					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.   
					You can play the tracks in a CD in random   
					order.

					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
