I TWO MODES COUNTER

Counter mode button (TIME/COUNT)

Press the button, and 2 modes change alternately.

Tape counter '_ Time counter

==Tape counter

Different counters are provided for DECK I and II. The number

of a counter increases/decreases as a tape runs. It is convenient if you make a note of the recorded content and range of the coun- ter while recording or playing back. You can then easily locate

the desired track or where you lastly recorded to resume recording.

==Time counter

This indicates the elapsed time for recording or playback.

This automatically starts counting when recording or play-

back starts. During fast-forwarding/rewinding, the counter

automatically switches to a tape counter.

The time counter indicates only time duration of recording or playback. When recording or playback is changed to fast-

forwarding, rewinding, or music search, the counter switches from the time counter to tape counter. When the operation returns to recording or playback, the counter switches to the time counter.

A plus sign ( + ) appears during music search in the forward direction.

The last two digits of the counter indicator show the number of selections to be skipped. If three selections are to be skipped,

for example, it shows "P+03" initially. The number then

decreases by 1 each time a selection is skipped "P + 02" -*

"P+01" etc.). When the deck resumes playback, the normal tape counter reappears.
