AUTO-S (AUTO SEARCH OPERATION)
The following menus are associated with Automatic Tape Search.
Pressing a switch under AUTO-S while the Tape Search Set-Up Menu, Figure 7, is displayed on the
LCD causes the Interval Screen, Figure 13, to be displayed.
One of the Auto-Search modes involves automatic single-cycling through multiple intervals. This
menu is used to enter or verify the number of the last interval to be cycled. The selected last
interval number is displayed at the far right.

This is the Auto Search Operating Menu. The Interval Number (top left) and Start (ST) and Stop
(SP) times are displayed on the top line.
Operator controls are displayed on the bottom line. Pushing the switch below a command initiates
that command. The current tape position is automatically considered in determining whether to go
forward or reverse when searching, so if the tape has been changed, it is advisable to START (play)
for a few seconds to tell the TM7000 where the tape is located.
1.7.1 STS (SEARCH TO START)
This function causes the transport to travel at search speed to a position preceding the Start Time by
the amount of ECD. The transport will go fast forward, if necessary, then fast reverse below the
Start Time, then stop. Activating START at this time puts the transport into a play forward. Play
will continue to Stop Time, when a stop command will be issued.
