Playing the current tune repeatedly
You can play the current tune repeatedly. (Repeat Play)
Each time you briefly press RPT while playing a tape, Repeat Play turns
on and off alternately.
Press the RPT button while a tune you would like to hear over again is being played back. When the
tape reaches the end of the tune, the tape is automatically rewound to the beginning of that tune and
playback resumes from there. This operation will be repeated till the RPT button is pressed again.
Notes:
• In the following cases, Blank Skip and Repeat Play may not operate correctly:
– Tapes with tunes having long pianissimo passages (very quiet parts) or non-recorded portions
during tunes.
– Tapes with short non-recorded sections.
– Tapes with high level noise or humming between tunes.
– Tapes with tunes recorded at low recording levels.
