Anti-Shock Protection
This function minimizes sound interruption caused by vibrations, by utilizing audio data that has been stored in the memory ahead
of the following time:
For Audio CD: Up to 45 seconds worth (Anti-Shock Protection on/off selectable)
For MP3:
Up to 120 seconds worth at 128 kbps (Anti-Shock Protection is fixed to on.)
Normally, the "A.S.P." indicator lights up on the display and the Anti-Shock Protection is in effect.

Notes:
