Numbering Tracks; Recording Fade Ins And Fade Outs - Pioneer PDR-509 Operating Instructions Manual

Additional Recording Features

Numbering Tracks

If you're recording from
source material. Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder, you can number tracks manually
as recording is taking place. In some cases— such as recording from digital satellite or Laserdisc, or from an analog
source — auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two
seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering. Remember: it is not possible to edit track numbers after
recording.

Recording Fade Ins and Fade Outs

Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then
fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. Note that you can't record a fade in when in synchro recording
mode (although you can record a fade out).
