Using DPSS with the Remote

Directly input the number of tracks to skip during playback.
1
Enter the number of tracks you want to skip using the number
buttons on the remote.
Up to nine tracks can be skipped.
Press either the 4 or ¢ button while the number is
2
displayed, depending on whether you want to skip backward or
forward.
Playback starts after the tape rewinds or fast forwards by the
specified number of tracks.
NOTE
• During the first five seconds of each track, the previous track is
considered the "current" 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 (the space between tracks).
However, when the blank space lasts for less than four 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 four seconds or more.
Canceling DPSS While It Is Operating:
Press the 38 button.

Blank Skip

Automatically fast forward to the beginning of the next track
when long blank spaces (10 seconds or more) are detected,
continuing tape playback.
Turning Blank Skip On/Off:
Press the B.S button to switch blank skip on and off.
The B.S indicator lights up when blank skip is turned on.
NOTE
• If the blank space contains much noise, the blank skip function
may not work right.
• Sections recorded at low levels may trigger the blank skip
function if they last for 10 seconds or more.

Index Scan

Successively plays the first few seconds of each track on the
tape.
Turning Index Scan On/Off:
Press the SCN button to switch index scan on/off.
The SCN indicator lights up when index scan is turned on.
Stopping to Listen to the Track Being Scanned:

Playback begins as usual.
NOTE
• Index scan is canceled when the tape stops.
• Index scan "knows" where a track begins by detecting the blank
space preceding it (the space between tracks). However, when
the blank space lasts for less than four 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 four seconds or more.
