What kind of skip protection is there on the RioVolt?

How does skip protection work?
When the player first starts, a buffer is filled with the track data. The CD stops spinning, and the tracks
continue to play out of memory, which helps conserve battery life. When about 30 seconds of time remains
in the buffer, the CD will again spin up and refill the buffer. Note that during this time, if the RioVolt is jarred
so that the buffer cannot be filled — for example, when jogging or riding a bicycle — then the player may
begin to skip. You will need to let the buffer fill in order to have skip-free performance.

How much playtime can I get from 2 AA batteries?
Playtime varies with battery type and music content. However, as a guideline the following applies: MP3/
WMA CDs have up to 15 hours of music playtime. Audio CDs will have up to 9 hours of playtime with ESP on
and 12 hours with ESP off.

The CD seems to stop spinning during playback. Is this normal?
Yes, it is normal for the CD to stop spinning during playback. This is part of the skip protection and battery
life protection. When the CD is stopped, the Riovolt plays songs from memory. This serves as absolute
shock protection during this time, as the disc is not even spinning.
