■ Tape counter
Different counters are provided for DECK 1 and 11. The number on
the counters increase/decrease as a tape runs. It is useful if you
make a note of the location and length of a selection while re­
cording or playing back. You can then easily locate a desired se­
lection or where to resume recording.
■ Time counter
• This indicates the elapsed time for recording or playback. This
automatically starts counting when recording or playback starts.
During fast-forwarding/rewinding, the counter automatically
switches to a tape counter.
• The time counter indicates only the time duration of recording or
playback. When recording or playback is changed to fastforward­
ing, rewinding, or music search, the counter switches from the
time counter to the tape counter. When the operation returns to
recording or playback, the counter switches to the time counter.

The last two digits of the counter indicator show the number of
selections to be skipped. If three selections are to be skipped, for
example, it shows "P+03" initially. The number then decreases
by 1 each time a selection is skipped ("P+02" = "P+01 etc.).
When the deck resumes playback, the normal tape counter reap­
