Make direct input of the number of tracks to be skipped during
playback.

Enter the number of tracks you want to skip using the numeric
buttons on the remote control.
Up to 9 tracks can be skipped.

Press either the 

4

or 

¢

button whilst the number is

blinking, depending on whether you want to skip backwards or
forwards.
Playback starts after the tape rewinds or fast forwards by the
specified number of tracks.

• During the first 5 seconds of each track, the previous track is

considered the "current" track (i.e., the "0" track). If you press
the 

4

button during that period, the tape rewinds to the

beginning of the previous track and not the one you are
listening to.

• The DPSS function "knows" where a track begins by detecting

the blank space preceding it (i.e., the space between tracks).
However, when the blank space lasts for less than 4 seconds or
contains noise, this function may not operate correctly.
Furthermore, sections that are recorded at low levels may
trigger the function if they last for 4 seconds or more.

Cancelling DPSS During Its Operation:

Press the 

38

button.

Using DPSS with Remote Control

Skip forwards or backwards to other tracks during playback.

Skipping to Beginning of Current Track or to Previous Tracks
(Rewind DPSS):

Press the 

4

button.

Press once to rewind to the beginning of the current track,
twice to rewind to the beginning of the previous track, and so
forth.
You can skip up to 9 tracks this way.
Playback is continued after the tape is rewound by the
indicated number of tracks.

Skipping to Later Tracks (Fast Forward DPSS):

Press the 

¢

button.

Press once to fast forward to the next one track, twice to fast
forward to the track after that, and so forth.
Up to 9 tracks can be skipped.
Playback is continued after the tape is fast forwarded by the
indicated number of tracks.

• During the first 5 seconds of each track, the previous track is

considered the "current" track (i.e., the "0" track). If you press
the 

4

button during that period, the tape rewinds to the

beginning of the previous track and not the one you are
listening to.

• The DPSS function "knows" where a track begins by detecting

the blank space preceding it (i.e., the space between tracks).
However, when the blank space lasts for less than 4 seconds or
contains noise, DPSS may not operate correctly. Furthermore,
quiet intervals within a song are detected as "blank spaces" if
they last for 4 seconds or more.

Cancelling DPSS During Its Operation:

Press the 

38

button.
