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.
PAUSE MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used to search very precisely (1frame precision) for the
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.
