APLD (Auto Program Locate Device) and APPS (Auto Program Pause System)
SHARP has solved one of the main drawbacks of cassette play in comparison with record play: That of finding the beginning
or end of a selection. To eliminate the need for trial, error and delay, APLD was developed to automatically scan a tape for
the blank space between recording, and to either start playback from the beginning of the recording following the space.
By using the APPS, desired number of musics can be reproduced and then the unit is set to pause mode automatically.
APLD/APPS is available only on Deck 1.
APLD OPERATION-
» «А ||
• In order to change search direction of the APLD, press the
STOP/EJECT button first to stop tape transport and
perform all steps for APLD operation again.
APPS OPERATION
1 Count the number of blank spaces (musical gaps) on the
tape between the current tape position and the desired
selection.
Enter that number into memory by pressing the SET
button the same number of times. The corresponding
APLD/APPS indicator will illuminate.
• It is necessary to enter the APLD number only when
wishing to skip more than one space on the tape.
• When pressing the CLEAR button, the APLD/APPS
indicator will extinguish.
2 If the deck 1 is not in the playback mode, press
PLAY button.
3Press the button if the blank space or spaces are
searched forward. Press the button if they are
searched backward.
4 In order to discontinue APLD operation in progress,
press the CLEAR button, and the deck will return to the
playing mode
5 When Deck 1 reaches the desired space between selec-
tions, it will automatically release the button or
button and start playback of the desired selec-
tion.
APLD Pause Control:
If it is desired to stop the tape at the beginning of the selec-
tion, press the II PAUSE button prior to performing the
APLD operations.
Press the • PLAY button of Deck 1 to start playback.
Count the number of selections to be played back, and
enter that number into memory by pressing the SET
button the same number of times.
• As spaces are passed during playback, the indicator
shows the number of selections remaining to be played.
• Press the CLEAR button to release the APPS function,
and start normal playback from the point.
When the last selection is reached to the end, the tape will
stop automatically, and the END PAUSE indicator will
illuminate. The button will not be released.
Release the END PAUSE function by pressing the
CLEAR button. While the END PAUSE indicator illumi-
nates, Deck 1 and Deck 2 will not function.
• Other operation such as cassette tape ejection has to be
done after the APPS is finished and the unit is in the
pause mode, the STOP/EJECT button for the Deck
1 and 2 have to be pressed before the operation.
• The APLD/APPS can only accommodate numbers up to 5. To
locate selection separated by more than 5 spaces, have the
APLD/APPS locate the fifth space, the reactivate for the
additional number of spaces necessary to reach the desired
selection.
• You can change the APLD/APPS numbers while APLD/APPS
is functioning.
