Using DPSS (Direct Programme Search System)

Skip forwards or backwards 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 9 tracks this way.

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 one track, twice to fast forward to the track after that, and so forth.

Up to 9 tracks can be skipped.

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

NOTE

•During the first 5 seconds of each track, the previous track is considered the "current" track (i.e., the "0" 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 (i.e., the space between tracks). However, when the blank space lasts for less than 4 seconds or contains noise, DPSS may not operate correctly.

Furthermore, quiet intervals within a song are detected as "blank spaces" if they last for 4 seconds or more.

Cancelling DPSS During Its Operation:

Press the PROG button.

Blank Skip

Automatically fast forwards to the beginning of the next track when long blank spaces (10 seconds or more) are detected, continuing tape playback. This function is on, when unit is first powered on.

Turning Blank Skip Function On/Off:

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

"Blank Skip/B.Skip ON" is displayed when the blank skip function is turned on.

NOTE

•If the blank space contains hiss noise, the blank skip function may not work correctly.

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

Music Repeat

Repeatedly plays the current track.

Turning Music Repeat Function On/Off:

Press the REP button to switch the music repeat function on and off.

"Repeat ON" is displayed when music repeat is turned on.

Cancelling Music Repeat Function:

Press either the REP or PROG button.

NOTE

The music repeat function "knows" where a track begins by detecting the blank space preceding it (i.e., the space between tracks). However, when the blank space lasts for less than 4 seconds or contains noise, this function may not operate correctly. Furthermore, sections recorded at low levels may trigger the function if they last for 4 seconds or more.
