Song search

This cassette deck is equipped with the Computomatic
Program Search (CPS) function. This function detects
blank spaces (longer than 4 seconds) between songs
and fast-winds the tape in the forward or backward
direction skipping over the specified number of songs,
thus allowing direct access to the beginning of a
desired song. CPS can skip up to 20 songs ahead of or
behind the current song.

When you press the

Ô

or

, key during playback,

the tape counter reads

CP 01

and the tape starts

running at high speed in the pressed direction. Each
time you press the same direction key, the displayed
number increases by one integer. The number decreas-
es as you press the opposite direction key.

If you are listening to a song and want to go back to
the previous song, press the locator key opposite to
the playback direction twice. Pressing it just once will
take you back to the beginning of the current song.
Each additional press of the key will take you back
one song.
