_ CDS (Computomatic Direct
Selection) Function.
The CDS system allows direct access to any
recorded tune by presetting the tune number
counted
from
the beginning of the tape.
(R-919X only: Before starting CDS search,
set the REVERSE MODE button toc posi-
tion.) The tune number can be preset by
pressing the <4 ( <4 or P® on R-919X)
button first and then the CDS/CPS button.
"PL 1" will appear in the Multi Counter
when
the
CDS/CPS
button
is pressed
first, then the PL number will increase by
one
each time the CDS/CPS
button is
pressed. Thus
"PL
5" will appear if the
button
is pressed
5 times.
In the CDS
system,
as the
CDS
searching
is always
started from the beginning of SIDE A or
SIDE B (R-919X only), first you must know
the side on which the tune to be searched
has been recorded.
To exit from the CDS mode,
¢ Push the COUNTER
CLEAR
button
while the tape is being rewound.
¢ Push the ¢4
or >> button if the tape
is being forwarded for searching.
Note:
eWhen the tape has already been rewound
to its beginning, use the CPS function
to locate the desired tune instead of the
CDS function.
GPS (Computomatic range
Search) Function"
CPS allows playback up to 15 tunes ahead
or before the one being played. This func-
tion is performed by detecting blank spaces
of at least 4 seconds between tunes. Blanks
can be created using the REC MUTE facility.
1. Press the CDS/CPS button repeatedly
or hold it until the number of tunes to
be skipped appears in the multi func-
tion counter. Refer to the chart "How to
Select a Desired Tune Using CPS".
elf the displayed number exceeds the re-
quired one, keep pressing the CDS/CPS
button as 1 appears after tune number
15 is indicated.
2. Press ¢4 or pe button, depending on
the search direction.
3. As the tape is fast-wound
and blank
spaces between tunes are detected, the
displayed
number will decrease until it
reaches
"1", at which point playback
will start.
(R-919X)
CPS tape side is determined by the setting
of the REVERSE MODE button. See chart
"CPS
Tape
Side
Decided
by REVERSE
MODE button".
Notes:
eCPS
setting is possible in any tape op-
eration mode.
To
cancel the CPS function before pres-
sing 4
of p> button, press the COUNT-
ER CLEAR, COUNTER MODE, STOP, >
(and 4 on R-919X) and PAUSE button.

Notes Common to INTRO CHECK,
CDS, CPS
Various search functions — INTRO CHECK,
CDS,
CPS — are performed by detecting
and counting
blanks of about 4 seconds,
such as intervals between tunes.
Therefore,
with
the
following
types
of
tapes,
search
functions
may
not
work
correctly.
eWhen
the intervals between tunes cannot
be detected.
—
Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
—
High levels of noise in intervals (due
to recording old scratched records,
poor FM or AM reception, etc.).
eWhen
parts of the program are likely to
be detected as intervals between tunes:
—
Long low level sections in classical
music, etc.
—
Momentary
pauses in a speech at a
conference, etc.
—
Continuing low level portions created
by fading out, etc.
ein the case of tapes containing fade-outs,
because the length of the blanks can differ
depending
on
how
the
fade-out
was
performed,
some
tune intervals may be
detected and others may not.
This problem can be corrected using the
REC MUTE facility.
This correction
is particularly necessary
when making recordings using the dbx NR
system.
Tape Memory Functions
Memory Start Playback
1. Press the START
M
button
at the
desired point on the tape during play,
play-pause, record, record-pause or re-
cord-mute.
2. Press the #4 button after playback or re-
cording. When the memorized position is
reached,
the
deck
will automatically
start playback.
Memory Stop
1, Press the STOP M button at the desired
position on the tape during play, play-
pause, record, record-pause
or record-
mute.
2. Press the 4 button
after playback or
recording.
When
the memorized
posi-
tion is reached, the tape will stop auto-
matically.
Notes:
e Tape transport may not always start or
stop exactly at the memorized counter
index due to the force of inertia from
fast winding.
