Note on AMS and Repeat Single
Track
• The AMS and the Repeat Single
Track functions detect a blank of 4
seconds or longer between the
tracks. If there is noise between the
tracks, these functions may not
recognize the blank and may not
operate. Likewise, if there is a low-
level segment within a track, these
functions may recognize it as a blank
space.

of 12 seconds or longer. If there is
noise between the tracks, these
functions may not recognize the

segment within a track, these
functions may recognize it as a blank
space.
