(Time Compression/Expansion)

This operation allows you to expand or compress the playback time of a song to a specified length of time. You can specify the amount of compression or expan- sion in a range of 75–125%, but the more extreme the settings, the more adverse the effect will be on the sound quality. We recommend that you normally keep compression and expansion within a range of 93–107 %.
