playing track to another track. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG
WHEEL to search very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.

exact cue point. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG WHEEL to search
very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.
