The VF160EX is equipped with 3 Auto Functions. One is the “Auto Play”, which automatically starts playing a track after locating it. Another is the “Auto Return”, which locates a predetermined time during playback.

The third, “Auto Repeat”, combines the former two features to repeat playing a certain segment.
