a
a.Track search is unlikely to work reliably if:
– the space between tracks is less than about 4 seconds.
– the recording is noisy so the spaces are not recognized.
– the recording contains frequent silences, such as a lan-
guage study tape.
– the recording contains sections of very quiet material,
such as some classical music recordings.
Searches for the previous / next blank
space between tracks on the side
currently playing (in other words, to the
start of the current / next track), then
resumes playback.
By pressing more than once, the tape
will skip several tracks at once (up to a
maximum of 15). For example, press
twice to skip forward two tracks.
