Suppressing the skip of the sound (G-PROTECTION)
The G-PROTECTION function was developed to provide a higher level of shock resistance
than that of existing players in order to allow the player to be used while jogging.
Note
The playback sound may skip if:
• the player receives stronger continuous shock.
• a dirty or scratched MiniDisc is played.
z
• The MZ-E310 supports the newly developed DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC. It thus allows you to enjoy
TYPE-R high-quality sound from MDs recorded in SP stereo on TYPE-R-equipped MD decks, etc.
• The player can play the track recorded by 2 × or 4 × long playing mode (LP2 or LP4). Normal stereo
playback, LP2 stereo playback, LP4 stereo playback or monaural playback is automatically selected
to match the audio source.
• The display will turn off shortly after you press

On cleaning
• After wiping the player casing with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with water, wipe it
again with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzene as this may mar the
finish on the casing.
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to
remove dirt.
• Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from
operating properly. Be sure to close the disc
compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an
MD.
• To maintain good sound quality, use a soft
cloth to clean the plugs of the headphones/
earphones. A dirty plug may cause noise or
intermittent breaks in the sound during
playback.
• Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton
swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.
