[7J SEARCH 1, 2, 3 buttons
These three buttons are used to store and/or initiate a Search to one
of three tape locations.
When a tape location has been stored in a memory corresponding to
a SEARCH button, the indicator in that button becomes illuminated.
When the indicator in a particular SEARCH button is not illuminated,
no location has been stored in the memory corresponding to that
button.
Pressing anyone of these buttons, when its associated indicator is
not illuminated, causes the tape time, at the instant the button was
pressed, to be stored in that Cue Point memory.
Pressing anyone of these buttons, after a location has been stored
in the Cue Point memory corresponding to that button, causes the
MX-55 to move the tape at Fast Wind speed to the location stored
as that cue pOint and then Stop.
