Dividing Recorded Tracks
(Divide Function)
With the Divide function, you can mark a new track
number at points that you want to randomly access
afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs
recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain
no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into
multiple portions. When you divide a track, the total
number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all
tracks following the divided one are renumbered.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C
