Pitch Control - Teac AD-500 Bedienungsanleitung

RTZ (Return To Zero) Function
By pressing the RTZ (Return To Zero)
button, the tape will locate the "0000" point
and stop.
O The RTZ function does not work when
the tape counter indicates a number
between "9996" and "0004".

Pitch Control

You can change the tape speed during
playback, allowing to change the pitch of
the reproduced sound.
By turning the PITCH CONTROL to the right,
the tape speed becomes faster, resulting in
higher pitch. By turning it to the left, the
tape speed becomes slower, resulting in
lower pitch.
O At the fully clockwise position, the tape
speed is approx. 12% faster .
O At the fully counter-clockwise position,
the tape speed is approx. 12% slower.
Fast Wind
In the Stop mode, the  Ò buttons act
as fast forward and rewind buttons.
O In the Playback mode, these buttons act
as CPS buttons.
or
CPS (Computomatic Program Search)
CPS allows the selection and playback of
any tune up to 15 tunes ahead or before
the one being played. This function
operates by detecting blank spaces of at
least 4 seconds between tunes. These
blanks can be created using the REC MUTE
function.
Notes:
O In the following steps 1 and 2, to
simplify the description, the explanation
is given for "forward playback" (∏
direction). A similar procedure should
be used for "reverse playback".
O The Ò (Fast Forward) and 
(Rewind) buttons act as CPS buttons
during playback. This is why the main
unit indicates "Ú CPS ÆÒ"
for these buttons, while the remote
control unit shows just "Ò". In
the following explanation, these buttons
are described as just "" and "Ò".
1. During forward playback, press the
 or Ò button repeatedly until the
number of tunes to be skipped appears
in the counter display. Use the Ò
button for searching a tune following
the current tune and  button for a
tune before the current tune. Refer to
the chart "How to Select any Required
Tune Using CPS".
How to Select Any Required Tune Using CPS
Ex: See (1). To select the 3rd tune past the current tape position, select "CP03".

'
'
In example (1), if "t" is less than
4 seconds, it will not be counted
as a blank. Designate "CP-02"
instead of "CP-03" to select the
3rd tune in this case.

_ 12 _
O If, by using the Ò , the required CPS
number setting is exceeded, use the
 button to count down the CPS
number until the required CPS number
is displayed.
O When the Ò button is pressed, the
next tune is counted as "1" and when
the  button is pressed, the current
tune is counted as "1".
2. The tape is fast-wound to detect blanks
between tunes until the required tune is
reached. Then playback starts from the
beginning of the designated tune.
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and counting
blanks of about 4 seconds, the standard
interval between tunes. Therefore, with
the following types of tapes, search
functions may not work correctly.
O When the intervals between tunes
cannot be detected.
– Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
– High levels of noise in intervals.
– Long low level sections (in classical
music, etc.)
