Song search

This cassette deck is equipped with the Computomatic Program Search (CPS) function. This function detects blank spaces (longer than 4 seconds) between songs and fast-winds the tape in the forward or backward direction skipping over the specified number of songs, thus allowing direct access to the beginning of a desired song. CPS can skip up to 20 songs ahead of or behind the current song.

When you press the Ô or , key during playback, the tape counter reads CP 01 and the tape starts running at high speed in the pressed direction. Each time you press the same direction key, the displayed number increases by one integer. The number decreases as you press the opposite direction key.

If you are listening to a song and want to go back to the previous song, press the locator key opposite to the playback direction twice. Pressing it just once will take you back to the beginning of the current song. Each additional press of the key will take you back one song.

the tape’s forward side (facing you) is playing; or side “B” ∑ side “A” ∑ side “B” if CPS is started when the tape’s reverse side (facing away) is play- ing)

The CPS function may not work properly if blanks between songs are less than 4 seconds long or contain noise.
