Notes
• The RMS function may not work properly if a blank space
between tracks is short.
• If there is a long blank space between tracks, the deck may
fast-forward a portion of the blank space.
• If your program includes a number for a track that does not
exist, the deck will skip that number during RMS Play.
You can create an RMS program only when both decks are
stopped.
