It's the playlist feature that I've stopped using. I developed that in the 1970s, inspired by the 9-track NRZI tape drives used in the computer industry. The Pioneer RT-909 has a digital tape counter, and I used that as an interface to a homebrew 6502-based microcomputer I had back then. I actually tapped into the index pulses that the tape deck's counter read. And the RT-909 controls are electric switches, so I connected relays across each one, and drove the relay with a 2N2222 connected to a parallel port. Each bit could be individually toggled via bitmask to "press" the play, record, fast-forward or rewind buttons. That interface is still there, but I don't use it anymore.
