This cassette deck is equipped with the Computomatic
Program Search (CPS) function. This function detects blank
spaces (longer than 4 seconds) between songs and fast-winds
the tape in the forward or backward direction skipping over
the specified number of songs, thus allowing direct access to
the beginning of a desired song. CPS can skip up to 20 songs
ahead of or behind the current song.
When you press the m or , button during playback, the
tape counter reads "CP 01" and the tape starts running at
high speed in the pressed direction. Each time you press the
same direction button, the displayed number increases by one
integer. The number decreases as you press the opposite
direction button.
< If you are listening to a song and want to go back to the
previous song, press the locator button opposite to the
playback direction twice. Pressing it just once will take you
back to the beginning of the current song. Each additional
press of the button will take you back one song.
