Locating the Beginning of a Song — Music
Scan
You can use Music Scan to locate the beginning of a song.
Music Scan searches for blank portions that usually separate
recorded songs, then plays the next song.
To find the beginning of the current song
During play, press
1 / ¡ (1 / 4 or
¢ / ¡ on the remote control) in the
opposite direction to the tape play.
The tape direction indicator of the opposite
direction to the tape play starts flashing
slowly.
Searching stops automatically at the beginning
of the current song, and the current song starts
automatically.
To find the beginning of the next song
During play, press 1 / ¡ (1 / 4 or ¢ / ¡ on the
remote control) in the same direction as the tape play.
The tape direction indicator of the same direction as the tape
play starts flashing slowly and quickly alternately.
Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the next
song, and the next song starts automatically.
Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank
between each song, so it will not work well in the
following cases
• No blank at the beginning of a song.
• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which
fills the blank.
• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.
The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not
recommended, since characteristic deterioration
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch-
rollers and the capstans.
