Gaz asked Ed,

| So am I correct in assuming that when set to auto end search, the
| only use of that button is to move the play position to the end of
| the disc?

Ed has mentioned that it is used in titling.  What I'm wondering is whether,
if you turn manual end search off (which I guess can be seen as turning
automatic end searching on), does the old shortcut to track 1 on Sony
portables (END SEARCH, PLAY, STOP, PLAY if I remember right) still work?

| Is there an LP2 mono
| available on it or any Sony deck (940?), and given that LP4 relies
| on joint-stereo encoding- LP4 mono is not possible?

It seems that the bit that distinguishes stereo from mono in SP mode is used
to distinguish LP2 from LP4.  The evidence is that a non-LP machien will play
an LP2 track silently for half its duration with the MONO indicator off,
while an LP4 track will play silently on a non-LP machine for half (not one-
fourth) of its duration with the MONO indicator on.  If that's the case,
they've pretty much locked out any chance to implement LP2 mono.
