You can change the tape speed during

playback, allowing to change the pitch of

the reproduced sound.

By turning the PITCH CONTROL to the right,

the tape speed becomes faster, resulting in

higher pitch. By turning it to the left, the

tape speed becomes slower, resulting in

lower pitch.

O At the fully clockwise position, the tape

speed is approx. 12% faster .

O At the fully counterclockwise position,

the tape speed is approx. 12% slower.

Pitch Control

O If, by using the Ò , the required CPS

number setting is exceeded, use the

 button to count down the CPS num-

ber until the required CPS number is dis-

played.

O When the Ò button is pressed, the

next tune is counted as "1" and when the

 button is pressed, the current tune

is counted as "1".

2. The tape is fast-wound to detect blanks

between tunes until the required tune is

reached. Then playback starts from the

beginning of the designated tune.

Notes on CPS

CPS operates by detecting and counting

blanks of about 4 seconds, the standard

interval between tunes. Therefore, with the

following types of tapes, search functions

may not work correctly.

O When the intervals between tunes can-

not be detected.

– Intervals of less than 4 seconds.

– High levels of noise in intervals.

– Long low level sections (in classical

music, etc.)

CPS allows the selection and playback of

any tune up to 15 tunes ahead or before the

one being played. This function operates

by detecting blank spaces of at least 4 sec-

onds between tunes. These blanks can be

created using the REC MUTE function.

Notes:

O In the following steps 1 and 2, to simpli-

fy the description, the explanation is

given for "forward playback" (∏ direc-

tion). A similar procedure should be

used for "reverse playback".

O The Ò (Fast Forward) and 

(Rewind) buttons act as CPS buttons

during playback. This is why the main

unit indicates "/ÚÆ/Ò" for

these buttons, while the remote control

unit shows just "Ò". In the fol-

lowing explanation, these buttons are

described as just "" and "Ò".

1. During forward playback, press the 

or Ò button repeatedly until the num-

ber of tunes to be skipped appears in the

counter display. Use the Ò button for

searching a tune following the current

tune and  button for a tune before

the current tune. Refer to the chart

"How to Select Any Required Tune Using

CPS".

Following Before

In example (1), if "t" is less than

4 seconds, it will not be counted

as a blank. Designate "CP-02"

instead of "CP-03" to select the

3rd tune in this case.

In the Stop mode, the Òbuttons act

as fast forward and rewind buttons.

O In the Playback mode, these buttons act

as CPS buttons.

By pressing the RTZ (Return To Zero) but-

ton, the tape will locate the "0000" point and

stop.

O The RTZ function does not work when

the tape counter indicates a number

between "9996" and "0004".
