ESP is the abbreviation for Electronic 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 overwritten (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 memory buffer have been collected, new data are transferred to the memory.
