SPECIAL FEATURES

FAST-FORWARD/REWIND

To rapidly advance or rewind the tape, press Á or 1. To stop the tape, press STOP (7). When the tape reaches the end, the cassette deck automatically stops.

PAUSE

To temporarily stop Deck 2 during playback or recording, press PAUSE (8). To restart, press 8, 3, or 2.

Note: You cannot pause while fast-forwarding or rewinding.

BLANK SKIP

To have the cassette deck automatically fast-forward through blank spaces on the tape, set REV MODE to RELAY/SKIP. If the cassette deck encounters 15 seconds of silence, it fast-forwards to the end of the blank section and resumes normal play from that point. If the tape reaches the end, it reverses and plays the other side.

TAPE COUNTER

As you play or record a tape, the tape counter advances for the tape side facing you or decreases for the tape side facing away from you. At the beginning of a tape or selection, press RESET to reset the counter to 0000. You can then use the tape counter to quickly locate a specific section on the tape.

The deck can also show the elapsed playing time (in minutes and seconds) since you reset the time. To switch between displays, press TIME/COUNTER on the deck you are using. (The time does not advance when you fast- forward or rewind the tape.)

AUTOMATIC SEARCH MUSIC SYSTEM

The automatic search music system (ASMS) lets you quickly locate a desired selection on a cassette tape. It searches for the blank space before a selection and automatically stops just before playback begins.

ASMS operates only during play. If the cassette deck is stopped, first press 3 or 2.

To skip to the beginning of the current (or an earlier) selection:

Press Á or 1 — whichever points in the opposite direction of the or indicator.

To skip to the beginning of an earlier selection, repeatedly press the button.

To skip to the beginning of the next (or a later) selection:

Press Á or 1 — whichever points in the same direction as the 3 or 2 indicator.

Note: If you press (Á or 1) more times than the number of selections on the side you want to search, and have not set REV MODE to Ò , the search continues to the other side.

ASMS might not operate as expected if:

The pause between selections is less than 4 seconds long.

The overall recorded volume level of a selection is very low.

The noise level between selections is very high.
