BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)

8. SCANNING (FAST FORWARD / FAST REVERSE)

This function gives you a fast search through a disk or track. For

faster scanning speeds hold down either the FORWARD SEARCH/

SCAN BUTTON (13) or the REVERSE SEARCH/SCAN BUTTON (12)

depending on which direction you want to search. You can scan in

3 different forward and 3 different reverse speeds depending on how

long the buttons are held down.

1) ELAPSED (31) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the

current tracks’ elapsed running time. The elapsed function only details a

tracks elapsed time and not the entire disc.

REMAIN (33) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the cur-

rent tracks’ remaining running time.

3) TOTAL REMAIN (32) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as

the total disc remaining time.

TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD visually details the time

defined in the TIME METER (36, 37, & 38). This bar is also dependent on

the selected time function (TOTAL REMAIN (32), REMAIN (33) or ELAPSE

(31). This bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain

and will begin to rapidly flash when three seconds of a track remain.

The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end.

The flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit

is in.
