INTRO CHECK Function
This function makes searching for a
specific tune much easier by detecting
the beginning of each tune in sequence.
1. Press the INTRO CHECK button.
2. The deck will fast-wind to the
beginning of a tune, play the first 15
seconds (approx.), then fast-wind to
the beginning of the next tune, from
which point the cycle starts again.

Playback
CPS (Computomatic Program
Search) Function
CPS allows the selection and playback of
any tune up to 20 tunes ahead or before
the one being played. This function
operates by detecting blank spaces of at
least 4 seconds between tunes. These
blanks can be created using the REC
MUTE Function.
1. During playback, press the or
►►I button repeatedly until the
number of tunes to be skipped appears
in the counter display. Use the
button for searching a tune following
the current tune and button for a
tune before the current tune. Refer to
the chart "How to Select any Required
Tune Using CPS".
• If, by using the the required CPS
number setting is exceeded, use the
button to count down the CPS
number until the required CPS number
is displayed.
2.
When the ►H button is pressed, the
next tune is counted as "1" and when
the button is pressed, the current
tune is counted as “1".
The tape is fast-wound to detect
blanks between tunes until the
required tune is reached. Then
playback starts from the beginning of
the designated tune.
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and counting
blanks of about 4 seconds, the standard
interval between tunes. Therefore, with
the following types of tapes, search
functions may not work correctly.
• When the intervals between tunes
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 using the
REC MUTE function.
1. Press the POWER switch to ON.
2. Load a pre-recorded cassette.
3. Set the DOLBY NR switch as required.
4. Press the ►button to start playback.
5. Adjust the volume with the amplifier's
volume control.
• To stop playback, press the STOP
button.
