From the Manufacturer --------------------- The Aiwa XP-SP920 Cross Trainer portable CD player features advanced EASS (Electronic Anti-Shock System) Plus to virtually eliminate skipping during active use. With a significantly extended horizontal-motion tolerance range and extremely precise laser pickup focus servo control, Aiwa attacks the problem at the source. The laser pickup is far less likely to mistrack as a result of severe shock, and, should mistracking occur, recovery time is much shorter than with earlier-generation systems. Combined with the digital buffer memory, this design significantly improves the ability of the XP-SP920 to deliver uninterrupted music, no matter what you are doing. Aiwa's Front Surround design lets the unit render huge, spacious sound. The unit offers two upward-firing speakers in addition to the two normal front-facing stereo speakers. Because the sound from the additional speakers is reflected and just slightly delayed before reaching your ears, you get an impressive surround sound effect with enhanced presence and depth. In addition, the XP-SP920's Super T-Bass delivers surprisingly deep and powerful bass sound without the "boominess" that characterizes systems with less sophisticated low-frequency enhancement circuits. That's because Super T-Bass was specifically engineered to improve the low-end performance of small speakers, taking into account their particular resonance characteristics. Q Surround circuitry lets you experience surround sound using just two speakers. Using unique signal processing algorithms based on advanced psychoacoustics, Q Surround creates a phantom center channel, expands the front left and right stereo soundfields, and places virtual surround speakers around you to simulate the effect of a multichannel system. Aiwa portable stereos with Q Surround can thus deliver a rich, all-encompassing soundfield that recreates the "you are there" experience as no conventional compact 2-speaker system can. The XP-SP920's convenience features include an innovative neckband headphone design that securely holds the earpieces in place, 3-point indicators that tell you at a glance how much battery power you have left, and a stopwatch function with 10-lap memory. This unit also incorporates equalization circuitry with preprogrammed settings (classical, pop/rock, and jazz) that you can quickly and easily select to keep your music sounding the best. Also included is a built-in exercise monitor that lets you set your own training goals. This feature helps you maintain the proper pace and lets you know when you've reached your target distance or calorie burn.
