Checking What's At The End Of A Disc; Recording Blank Sections - Pioneer PDR-509 Operating Instructions Manual

Checking What's at the End of a Disc

You don't have to record a whole disc at once. Until you finalize the disc, further recording is possible from the end of the
last track you recorded (assuming there are fewer than 99 tracks already on the disc). Here's how to check what's on the
last recorded section of the disc before recording new material:

Recording Blank Sections

This feature is useful when you want to put some space at the end of a recording session so that the next recording doesn't
start after the last too closely, but use it wherever you need some blank space recorded on the disc. There are a couple of
restrictions on using record mute: you can only record one mute per track; and you can't begin a recording with a muted
section— you can use it only after the recording has started, or at the end of a recording.
