If the Time Axis is set to some scale other than full scale and the position control reaches the right end of the play bar during playback, the position control instantly moves to the left end and the Time Axis display is updated. The last scale mark of the Time Axis is displayed in red and the fractional time is displayed. If you drag the position control to the left end or the right end of the play bar, accelerated fast forward or rewind takes place, updating the scale of the Time Axis and the current playback position.
In addition, the [Index Mark] is displayed using a red triangle on the [Time Axis]. Up to 16 index marks can be used on each DSS file.
