Well, yes, Marc, that's the read-ahead I was talking about.
The impression I get of G-protection is that it's supposed to be a faster way
of getting the head back into position
I have a Sony r900 and it has g-protection
I think it is just something similar to anti shock minidisc disks - ie it
prevents the lack of data due to vibrations - and so minimises the need to
use the buffer - and so essentially makes the buffer seem larger.
Put it this way - if I

They must, Richard. How else would they have data to keep playing smoothly
while the head is repositioned from a dislodgment (or a ,,dislodgement'' in
New Zealand)?
There has to be some read-ahead, and there has
I just recently purchased a R700DPC, which has the G-Protection, my last sony portable
is about 6 years old and I don't remember the model number(big square unit with a
complete number pad on the front, heavy too)
Because of the time difference (I hadn't used my old portable in about 3 years)
This may be a dumb question, but is G-Protection
anything additional to the units? I thought it was just
a marketing name for the normal 40 second buffer.
Can anyone verify?

Seems to me no form of shock protection can work without a time buffer.

If this G-protection is a different system, then does it eliminate the noise
made by the unit to fill-in the standard 40 sec buffer memory?
This would be an improvement, really.
