■ REP S (Single repeat)

A single track is repeatedly played back.

*This is also available in the program play mode and the

random-sequence play mode. (If the repeat play mode is switched off, the program play mode or the randomsequence play mode will be resumed.)

■ REP F (Full repeat)

In the “1DISC” disc play mode: A designated disc is repeatedly played back. In the “5DISCS” disc play mode: All discs on the disc tray are repeatedly played back.

* In the program play mode, all programmed tracks are

repeatedly played back.

* In the random-sequence play mode, all randomly

sequenced tracks on a designated disc (1DISC) in the same order, or all randomly sequenced discs and tracks (5DISCS) are repeatedly played back.

Index Search

If the disc includes index numbers, playback can be started from any desired index number.

3 Select the desired index number.

■ To cancel the index search function

Press the INDEX button.

Notes

• Not all discs have index numbers. The index system has a method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (for example, the movements within classical symphonies) for easier location of those parts. The liner notes with the disc usually tell if such index numbers are included.

• If an index number is selected that is higher than any index number on that disc, playback will start from the last index number point on the disc.

•For some discs, playback may start slightly prior to the actual designated index point.

• If the disc has no encoded index points, playback will start from the beginning of the selected track.

This convenient feature can be used to program tracks for recording to tape. By only memorizing the total possible recording time of the tape, the unit will automatically program tracks or help you to program tracks so they will fit onto the tape with the least amount of unrecorded space remaining at each end of the tape. The peak level searching function of this unit is useful for adjusting recording level on the tape deck. (For details, refer to page 22.)

Automatic Tape Programming

The unit will automatically program tracks on a disc with the original order of tracks unchanged.
