Notes:
• Use this feature when the tape is stopped or being
played back.
• This function finds the beginning of the scene
immediately before or after the current tape position,
stopping at every scene. It is not possible to skip a
scene.
• This function cannot spot recordings that are shorter
than 10 seconds in length.
• In steps 3 and 5, if the tape is at a point ahead of
the most recent recording, only the “REW” indicator
will flash, and the “FF” indicator will not appear.
• In steps 3 and 5, if the tape is at a point before the
oldest recording, only the “FF” indicator will flash,
and the “REW” indicator will not appear.
• This feature does not function if no recording has
been made since the cassette was loaded, or if the
cassette has been removed after the recordings
were made. “SEARCH” is faintly displayed in this
case.
