(Time Compression/Expansion)
This operation allows you to expand or compress the
playback time of a song to a specified length of time.
You can specify the amount of compression or expan-
sion in a range of 75–125%, but the more extreme the
settings, the more adverse the effect will be on the
sound quality. We recommend that you normally keep
compression and expansion within a range of 93–107 %.
