MUSIC SEARCH SYSTEM
The music search system detects blank sections (lasting for at least 4 seconds)
between selections in order to locate the beginning of selections in the
forward or reverse direction.
1. To advance from the current selection to the beginning of the next selection
(CUE):
Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Forward (
7
)
button when the tape is travelling in the forward (
) direction.
Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Rewind (
6
)
button when the tape is travelling in the reverse (
) direction.
The tape transport indicator flashes.
The deck will skip the rest of the current selection and automatically resume
play from the beginning of the next selection.
2. To repeat playback from the beginning of the current selection (REVIEW):
Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Rewind (
6
)
button when the tape is travelling in the forward (
) direction.
Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Forward (
7
)
button when the tape is travelling in the reverse (
) direction.
The tape transport indicator flashes.
The deck will rewind the tape to the beginning of the current selection and
automatically resume play from that point.
This is very convenient for repeating playback of the current selection.
Notes on Music Search Operation:
The search functions operates by detecting comparatively long, blank sections
approximately 4 to 5 seconds long, in between recorded selections. Therefore,
the system may not operate normally in the following cases:
• Recordings with discontinuous speech or conversation.
• Recordings with long periods of pianissimo (softly played music).
• Recordings with long silences.
• Blank sections with a high level of noise.
• Blank sections shorter than 4 seconds.
• If noise-emitting appliances, such as electric razors, drills, refrigerators, etc.,
are operated nearby.
• REV close to the beginning of the program or CUE close to the ending.
