Auto play

Press the RTZ key to fast wind the tape to the counter zero point.

If you press COUNTER RESET during the RTZ process, the tape counter is reset to 0000 and the tape stops.

Hit the LOC 1 key to fast wind the tape to the MEMO 1 point.

Note : Only touch the LOC key. If you hold it down for 0.5 second or more, autolocation does not start and only the tape counter shows the location point.

Hit the LOC 2 key to fast wind the tape to the MEMO 2 point.

Note : For the deck to autolocate, the current point must be 0003 or more higher or lower than the memo point. A shorter distance only causes the MEMO 1 (or 2) indicator to flash upon hitting the LOC 1 (or 2) key.

If PLAY is pressed after RTZ, LOC 1 or LOC 2, the tape will auto- matically start playing when the location point is reached.
