ESP function

The SBS function produces rich,
deep bass tones for a more powerful overall sound.

The ESP function ensures high
resistance to shock or vibration so
that the sound signal remains undisturbed ( up to 120 seconds for MP3
and 45 seconds for a CD).

FM Radio Reception
You can listen to FM radio using
various functions such as the
automatic tuning, preset FM
stations, and etc.

Album function (MP3-CD Only)
The Album function allows easy
browsing and searching of your
favorite tunes by album name, song
title and artist.

Last Memory function (MP3-CD Only)
The Last Memory function allows you
to listen to a song from the point you
left off - handy for when you have to
answer the phone or door.

What is MP3?
MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technology. It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12
times without sound quality degradation.
