To lock the buttons

Using other functions
To maximize the skip protection performance (ESP MAX)
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.*
* Although ESP MAX provides excellent protection, skipping may occasionally occur.
