Quick Search Functions

This chapter explains the quick search functions.

The [

] and [

] SONG SEARCH buttons can be used for locating songs at any time 

except when recording. The [

] SONG SEARCH button locates the previous song and 

the [

] SONG SEARCH button locates the next song. When the [

] SONG SEARCH 

button is pressed in the middle of a song, the beginning of that song is located.

When the SONG SEARCH buttons are used during playback, the song is located and then 
playback continues. When they are used in Stop mode, the song is located and then Pause 
mode is engaged.

There are two fast forward/rewind functions that allow you to jump to the position you need. 
Both are available at all times, except when the CURSOR shuttle and DATA dial are used for 
setting values or selecting settings (i.e., when the PITCH, ADJUST, EDIT, or UTILITY indi-
cator lights).

The outer rim of the CURSOR shuttle/DATA dial (which we have come to call the CURSOR 
shuttle) allows you to fast forward or rewind at different speeds during playback. During this 
operation, the material on disc remains audible (which is why these functions are also called 
Cue and Review). The position of the CURSOR shuttle determines the Cue or Review speed 
(the speed value will appear on the display):

The display shows the value of the selected CUE speed (see the above illustration).
