The AMS function may not operate correctly under the following circumstances:

–When the unrecorded space between songs is less than 4 seconds long.

–If completely different information is recorded on the left and right channels.

–When there are continuous sections of extremely low level or low frequency sound (like those of a baritone sax).

–When the unit is placed near a television. (In this case, we recommend moving the unit farther away from the television or turning off the television.)
