Notes
• The Multi-AMS function may not work correctly if:
— the blank space between tracks is less than 4 seconds
long.
— the signal strength of the left and right channels are
very different.
— there is a passage of low frequencies or very low
volume within a track.
• Since the counter is not a digital clock, it will differ from
the actual elapsed playback or recording time.
You can use the Multi-AMS to locate up to the 30th track
after or before the current track.
