You can enjoy the following five play modes: �Normal play�, �Repeat play � all the tracks�, �Single track play�, �Repeat play � a single track� and �Repeat shuffle play�.

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.*
