About rocking search
When two or more CD players are used at a time, as often
happens in a studio for example, fade-in and fade-out of
the units have to be timed exactly. The rocking search
function is useful for this because it permits movement of
the pickup across one pit-track (at inner diameter in about
0.13 second) each time either button is pressed momen-
tarily.

.Usually no sound can be heard while the unit is in the pause
mode. However, if the dial search button is in the "on" position,
sound can also be heard during the pause mode.
*Dial search can be performed at two different speeds depend-
ing on the position (slow and fast) of the dial search speed
selection.
*If the search dial is turned clockwise the pickup performs
forward search, and if it is turned counterclockwise, the pickup

*When dial search is performed with the unit in the play mode,
the normal play speed of the pickup is added to (forward
