The time indication (“m (minute),” “s (second),” and “f (frame = 1/86 second)”) of the current point is displayed and several seconds of the track from that point play back repeatedly.

To find a point quickly

Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press ./

>repeatedly).

To do this, press m/M in step 4 repeatedly to select “m,” “s,” or “f.” The selected unit flashes in the display.
