About the Sony Discman ESP

Sony Discmans marked ESP (and later ESP2) use electronic skip protection, which buffers audio in memory so playback survives bumps; the feature spread through portable CD players from the mid-1990s. Check that the laser reads discs quickly, the lid latch holds, and the battery contacts are clean.

What affects the price

  • Whether it reads discs without skipping (a weak laser is the common fault).
  • Battery compartment corrosion, the lid latch and the AC adapter.
  • Anti-skip (ESP) working, and cosmetic condition.
