You can quickly locate any track while playing a disc
using the JOG SELECTOR, =/ + buttons (AMS:
Automatic Music Sensor), PREV/ NEXT buttons or
number buttons.
Note that while playing a VIDEO CD with PBC
functions, this function is available only during

find a certain point on a VIDEO CD. To use Time
Search function with VIDEO CDs with PBC function
(Ver. 2.0 discs), see the explanation below. “Elapsed”
means the time from the beginning of the disc and is
not the playing time of the current track.

discs that have only a few track divisions.
This function cannot be used during Digest Play (see
