Tape counter Time counter
■ Tape counter
Different counters are provided for DECK I and II. The number
of a counter increases/decreases as a tape runs. It is convenient
if you make a note of the recorded content and range of the coun­
ter while recording or playing back. You can then easily locate
the desired track or where you lastly recorded to resume
recording.
■ Time counter
• This indicates the elapsed time for recording or playback.
This automatically starts counting when recording or play­
back starts. During fast-forwarding/rewinding, the counter
automatically switches to a tape counter.
• The time counter indicates only time duration of recording
or playback. When recording or playback is changed to fast­
forwarding, rewinding, or music search, the counter switches
from the time counter to tape counter. When the operation
returns to recording or playback, the counter switches to the
time counter.

• A plus sign (+1 appears during music search in the forward
direction.
• A minus sign (-) appears during music search in the reverse
direction.
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-t03" initially. The number then
decreases by 1 each time a selection is skipped "P-i-02" -►
"P-tOI" etc.). When the deck resumes playback, the normal
tape counter reappears.
