Changing Playback Speed (Variable Speed Play)

You can adjust the play time by changing the speed of play.

You can adjust the speed of a track in the normal range of ±12.5%. You can play late at up to 12.5% of normal speed (in this case, a pitch is low) and fast at up to 12.5% of normal speed (in this case, a pitch is high).

Note

MDLP-recorded tracks cannot be played faster than normal speed. When you play an MD containing the MDLP-recorded tracks, adjustment of the speed automatically (0 to _12.5%) is made.

If you play an MD containing MDLP-recorded tracks when fast speed is set, the speed becomes 0% automatically.
