How to Select any Required Tune Using CPS
CPS (Computomatic Program Search)
CPS allows the selection and playback of any track up to 20
tracks ahead or before the one being played. This function
operates by detecting blank spaces of at least 4 seconds
between tracks. These blanks can be created by using the REC
MUTE Function.
During forward playback, press the Ô or button
repeatedly until the number of tracks to be skipped appears
in the counter display.
Use the  button to search a track ahead of the current
track, and Ô button for a track before the current track.
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and counting blanks of about 4
seconds, the standard interval between tracks. Therefore, with
the following types of tapes, search functions may not work
correctly.
… When the intervals between tracks cannot be detected.
- Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
- High levels of noise in intervals.
-Long low level sections (in classical music, etc.)
This problem can be corrected by using the REC MUTE
function.

Note:
To simplify the description, the explanation is given for "forward
playback" (
Á direction). A similar procedure should be used for
"reverse playback".
… If the required CPS number setting is exceeded by , use
the Ô button to count down the CPS number until the
required CPS number is displayed.
… When the button is pressed, the next track is counted as
"1" and when the Ô button is pressed, the current track is
counted as "1 ".
The tape is fast-wound to detect blanks between tracks until the
required track is reached. Then playback starts from the
beginning of the designated track.
Example
*
:
To select the 3rd tune from the
current tape position, select
"CP03".
If "t" is less than 4 seconds, it
will not be counted as a blank.
In this case, designate "CP02"
instead of "CP03" to select the
3rd tune.
