8. Conventional audio CDs

8.1. Playback

1Open the CD compartment by pushing to the right the ???OPEN??? slide on the front of the player.

14 | Operating Instructions

?? Prior to first-time use:

Remove the cardboard transport protection from the CD compartment.

2Insert the jack plug of the supplied earphones into the ???PHONES??? socket on the right-hand side of the MP3-CD player.

3Place a CD ??? label side up ??? on the axle in the middle of the CD compartment. Press the CD down lightly until it is percept-ibly engaged.

4Close the CD compartment by pressing down the cover until it is perceptibly engaged.

5Press the ???PLAY/PAUSE??? button. ???READING??? now appears on the display and the MP3-CD player now reads in the information from the loaded CD.

The first track of the loaded audio CD is then automatically played.

The following is indicated on the display:

?? Info

ESP is the abbreviation for???Electronic Shock Protection??? system of the Silvercrest KH 2279 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 over- written (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 memo- ry buffer have been collected, new data are transferred to the memory.

Operating Instructions | 15

?? Please note!

The ESP system cannot prevent damage to the MP3-CD player as a result of jolts or vibra- tions or if the player is dropped! Ensure that the MP3-CD player is transported or stands as vibration-free as possible and that it cannot fall down from its location point.

The MP3-CD player can be irreparably damaged by shocks and vibrations or if it falls down!
