Automatic track division

The trigger level can also be used to divide tracks if the
A_TRACK (auto track) function is enabled.
When this function is enabled, the unit automatically in-
serts a track division in the recorded material.
To enable or disable automatic track division:
1 Use A_TRK option in the REC sub-menu to set the
mode on. The A.TRACK indicator at the top right of
the display lights.
2 Rotate and push the MULTI JOG dial to select and
enter the modes following:
≠ Level
When the sound level has dropped below the
threshold for more than two seconds, and sound
has re-started, the track will be divided.
Use A_TRK LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu.
The trigger level is set to -24dB to -72 dB.

≠ When the Sync ALL is on, and the READY key is
pressed, the unit enters recording standby mode
with remaining the Sync recording setting.
≠ If you set the value only high-level signals trigger re-
cording, remember that this will not record the start
of a piece:
level
T h i s p a r t o f
the track is not
recorded
S_LVL
≠ Also remember that when recording from an analog
source, the threshold should be set so that it is high-
er than the "noise floor". If the "noise floor" is higher
than the threshold, a false start will occur:
level
Start of track is not registered
S_LVL
Noise is higher
than threshold
≠ DD (digital direct)
When recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, this
mode detects a track boundary and divides the
track.
However, when the DD mode is on, and if the analog
source or non-DAT/CD/MD digital connections are
detected, the track number will be increased by the
setting level that you set in the Level mode.
