This key has primary (unSHIFTed) and secondary (SHIFTed) functions.

•Skips to the next (>>) or previous (<<) "ABS 0" of an audio file, cue point or MEM point, depending on the setting of the "Skip Mode?" menu in the Setup mode.

In the initial setting, "File" is selected, so each press of the key skips to the next or previous "ABS 0 (the beginning position)" of an audio file.

•In a character entering mode in which you have to move the cursor to a position to be edited, pressing the key moves the cursor.

•While executing the list play, pressing the key moves to the next (>>) or previous (<<) CUE point.

When SHIFTed:

• Enters the plus or minus sign while editing a time value.
