Note on peak search function
The player determines the loudest portion (peak level) of a disc by searching
it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion searched may differ from the
actual peak level. In addition, this function may determine different portions
as the peak level for the same disc. However, the difference between the
portion searched and the actual peak level is insignificant and will not
present any problem in adjusting the recording level.
You can insert a 3-second blank space between each
selection. The blank space enables you to locate
selections when using a tape deck with the automatic
selection search function.
A.SPACE/A.CUE
Before starting play, press A.SPACE/A.CUE once.

“AUTO SPACE” appears in the window.
A blank space of approximately 3 seconds will be
inserted between each selection.
To cancel the auto space function
Press A.SPACE/A.CUE twice.
“AUTO SPACE” disappears.
Note on auto space function
When selections consist of several chapters following one after another
successively like symphonies, the auto space function may create breaks
between each selection.
