To find the beginning of a program
(TPS: tape program sensor) _ T o fast forward or rewind the tape
Press « (TPS) or (TPS) ►► while the tape is
playing.
If the forwar d side (>) is playing:
I | : The tape will play from the beginning of the next
tune.
1 -*«(tp3) \ : The tape will rewind to the beginning of the present
tune. Then the tune will play again.
If the reverse side (<) of the tape is playing:
The reverse operation should take place.
TPS (Tape Program Sensor) is the function that searches for the
silent passage in a tape program. So, it may sometimes fail to
operate correctly in the following situations:
•When there is no blank space between tape programs (for exam¬
ple, when you are playing a tape recorded from a microphone)
•When the interval between programs (blank space) is less than
4 seconds
•When there is a particular low-level passage or silent passage in
the middle of a program (For example, classical music)
•When the program is less than 10 seconds, or when It is less than
10 seconds from the beginning of the program to the beginning of
the next program
•When a tape has been recorded with fade-ins (the function that
increases the volume level gradually at the beginning of a program)
and fade-outs (the function that decreases the volume level grad¬
ually at the end of a program)
For your reference:
Each decks’ play direction is stored in the system’s memory. So the
play direction may change when you press DECK 1/2.
Press ◄◄ (TPS) or (TPS) ►► while the tape Is In
the stop mode.
if the forwar d side (>) of the tape is playing:
| gran— | : The tape will be fast forwarded.

High-speed rewind/fast-forward:
On this unit, if there is less tape on the take-up side than on the
supply side (refer to the illustration below) at the time that « or
►► Is pressed, the speed of the rewind/fast-forward operation will
automatically be increased for approximately 1.5 times the normal
speed. This function makes it possible to wind the tape faster when
there is a large amount of tape to be wound.
Tape
Notes
•When there is more tape on the take up side than on the supply
side, the tape will be wound at the normal speed.
•If high speed winding is begun from a state In which the tape is
partly wound, such as that shown in the illustration above (for
example, when the ratio of tape between the two sides is 1:3), high
speed winding will continue until the ratio between the two sides
reaches 3:1, and then the remaining winding will be done at the
norma! speed.
For your reference:
You can fast forward or rewind the tape while you are playing or
recording a tape in another deck. Press DECK M2 to switch to the
non playing deck, and then press « or ►► .
After above operation, be sure to press DECK 1/2 to select the deck
in which you are playing a tape.
