Using DPSS (Direct Programme Search System)
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.
NOTE
• 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.
