Using Direct Program Search System (DPSS)

Skip forward or backward to other tracks during playback.

Skipping to Beginning of Current Track or to Previous Tracks (Rewind DPSS):

Press the 4 button.

Press once to rewind to the beginning of the current track, twice to rewind to the beginning of the previous track, and so forth.

You can skip up to nine tracks.

Playback is continued after the tape is rewound by the indicated number of tracks.

Skipping to Later Tracks (Fast Forward DPSS):

Press the ¢ button.

Press once to fast forward to the next track, twice to fast forward to the track after that, and so forth.

You can skip up to nine tracks.

Playback is continued after the tape is fast forwarded by the indicated number of tracks.

NOTE

•During the first five seconds of each track, the previous track is considered the "current" track. If you press the 4 button during that period, the tape rewinds to the beginning of the previous track and not the one you are listening to.

•The DPSS function "knows" where a track begins by detecting the blank space preceding it (the space between tracks). However, when the blank space lasts for less than four seconds or contains noise, DPSS may not operate correctly. Furthermore, quiet intervals within a song are detected as "blank spaces" if they last for four seconds or more.

Canceling DPSS While It Is Operating:

Press the PROGRAM button.

Blank Skip

Automatically fast forward to the beginning of the next track when long blank spaces (10 seconds or more) are detected, continuing tape playback. The B.S indicator lights up when blank skip is turned on.

Turning Blank Skip On/Off:

Press the B.S button to switch blank skip on and off.

NOTE

•If the blank space contains much noise, the blank skip function may not work right.

•Sections recorded at low levels may trigger the blank skip function if they last for 10 seconds or more.

NOTE

•Index scan "knows" where a track begins by detecting the blank space preceding it (the space between tracks).
