Procedure
1
While stopped or playing, press the
SPEED button.
The lower line of the display will
indicate 1/2, and playback will occur at half-speed.
If the R-1 is currently playing, the playback will slow down.
If the R-1 is currently stopped, half-speed playback will begin when you press the
PLAY button.
* This function adjusts the pitch of the half-speed playback so that it remains the same as the
normal pitch. This may produce a wavering effect in the playback; this is not a malfunction.
To cancel this function
If half-speed playback is active, press the SPEED button to cancel it.
If you don't cancel half-speed playback, the next song will also play back at
half-speed.
