Locating the Beginning of a Song—Music Scan

You can use Music Scan to locate the beginning of a song. Music Scan searches for blank portions that usually separate recorded songs, then plays the next song.

To find the beginning of the current song

During play, press 1 or ¡ (or 4 (1) / ¢ (¡) on the

remote control) in the opposite direction to the tape play.

The tape direction indicator of the

opposite direction to the tape play starts flashing intermittently.

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the current song, and it starts automatically.

To find the beginning of the next song

During play, press 1 or ¡ (or 4 (1) / ¢ (¡) on the

remote control) in the same direction as the tape play.

The tape direction indicator of the

same direction as the tape play starts flashing intermittently.

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the next song, and it starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank between each song, so it will not work well in the following cases

•No blank at the beginning of a song.

•Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank.

•Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.

The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch- rollers and the capstans.
