A:

"skip protection" means that the device comes with buffers that protect a CD from bouncing and skipping which damages the CD itself. kind of like when turntables were in use and a record was being played, if someone bumped into the turntable, the record would skip.

A:

The Insignia NS-P5113 |SKU:9139826 Portable CD Player’s anti-skip electronic shock protection (ESP) system prevents this unit’s laser beam pickup from skipping or missing parts of a song during active use. Active use includes activities such as walking, jogging, running, or exercising while holding the portable player in hand. The Insignia CD player will also be subject to excessive vibration if it is used in a moving vehicle. Under normal circumstances, a CD player’s optical pick-up mechanism would be unable to focus on continuously reading the playback disc during active use for enjoyment of your favorite songs. However, the Insignia CD Player incorporates an automatic electronic buffer system that allows it to store up to 240 seconds of music on an audio CD or 480 seconds of music on an MP3 disc into memory so that the Insignia portable does not skip portions of a track while the user is engaged in active use while carrying the CD player. The buffer time of 240 or 480 seconds allows the CD player enough time in most instances of active use to recover playback of the disc should it experience an unexpected violent movement that would normally cause disruption or stoppage of disc playback. Please note that electronic shock protection is not needed if the Insignia CD player is used during a non-active use such as listening to the unit on your sofa at home. You can disable the ESP for audio CD’s when appropriate, but not for MP3 discs. This unit’s FM tuner is not affected by the built-in anti-shock protection system. Good Luck.

A:

Unfortunately, the Insignia NS-P5113 MP3 Portable CD Player |SKU:9139826 does not offer the resume play function for your start, stop, and continue in the same spot audio book CD playback needs. Sorry. However, don’t despair. You can still purchase a very high quality portable CD player from Best Buy or Best Buy Marketplace vendors that will meet your resume playback expectations exactly. With that in mind, you can select from any of the following portable audio products for your advanced mobile audio book disc playback needs:
1. Sony Walkman CD Player D-EJ011 |SKU:8234449
2. Sony Walkman CD Player D-FJ041 |SKU:4426839
3. Sony Walkman CD Player D-EJ017CK |SKU:4781295
Good Luck.

A:

I don't think you can. The player has an energy saving feature built in where it will shut itself off after a few minutes of no play. You can pause your place and try to resume it within a few minutes, but if you stop the disc or power the player off, it starts at the beginning.

yes, the display will show what track youre on but not it wont show what radio station youre on. as far as remembering where you left off on your book, just push the pause button when you want to stop reading and push it again when you want to start again and the audiobook will pick up where it left off. you don't have to remember.

A:

The display shows track information when playing discs. You can certainly select a particular track and you can skip through a track. It shows the radio station frequency when operating the radio. When using the radio, the headphone cord is the antenna for the radio, based on my experience, so the radio won't work well without a cord plugged into the headphone jack.
