Sound skip guard function (D.A.S.C.)
Sound skipping caused by vibrations, etc., is prevented by recording the sound
data into the memory and then playing it back from the memory.
The D.A.S.C. function will always be activated with MP3 and WMA files (approxi-
mately 110 seconds when saved with a transmission bit rate of 128kbps and a sam-
pling frequency of 44.1kHz).
