This works in conjunction with the TAP
COUNTER and the rewind function (4 )
to allow you to return to any part of the
tape you choose. The tape will then either
stop or play again depending on the setting
of this switch. Simply set the TAPE
COUNTER to 000 using the reset button at
the part of the tape of which you want to
return, If the MEMORY switch is in the
STOP position, pressing the rewind ( ¢4 )
button will rewind the tape until the
counter has counted down to 999 (just
beyond 000). The tape will then stop auto-
matically. If the MEMORY switch is in the
PLAY position, when the counter has
counted down to 999 the tape will stop and
then go immediately into the play mode
again, Set the MEMORY switch to the OFF
position when this facility is not required.
