Using Direct Program Search System (DPSS)

Skip forward or backward 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 nine tracks.
Playback is continued after the tape is rewind by the indicated
number of tracks.
Skipping to Later Tracks (Fast Forward DPSS):
Press the ¢ button.
Press once to fast forward to the next track, twice to fast
forward to the track after that, and so forth.
You can skip up to nine tracks.
Playback is continued after the tape is fast forwarded by the
indicated 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, DPSS may not operate correctly. Furthermore,
quiet intervals within a song are detected as "blank spaces" if
they last for four seconds or more.
Canceling DPSS While It is Operating:
Press the 38 button.

displayed, depending on whether you want to skip backwards
or forwards.
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.
Cancelling DPSS During Its Operation:
Press the 38 button.

Blank Skip

continuing tape playback. The B.S indicator lights up when

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.
