Dividing Tracks - Sony MDS-S40 Operating Instructions Manual

Dividing Tracks

You can divide a recorded track at any point simply by
adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful
when you want to divide recorded material which
contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see
page 18), or when you want to locate a certain point in the
track.
Example: Dividing the second track
AAA BBB
1 2
B1
AAA BBB
1 2 3
B1
When you divide a track, the total number of tracks
increases by one and all tracks following the divided track
are automatically renumbered.
