z Additional information on Automatic Track Marking
• When recording from a CD player or MD recorder
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire
material may be recorded as a single track in the
following cases:
- When you consecutively record the same track two or
more times using single-track repeat play.
- When you consecutively record two or more tracks
with the same track number but from different CDs or
MDs.
- When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc
players.
In either case, divide tracks after recording (page 45).
• If the source is an MD, a track number may not be
marked for tracks less than 4 seconds long (during
stereo, LP2 stereo, or monaural recording) or less than 8
seconds (during LP4 stereo recording).
23
Synchro-recording With a
Sony CD Player (CD
Synchro-recording) Z
When the recorder is connected to a Sony CD player or Hi-
Fi component system, you can easily copy the contents of
CDs to the MD using the recorder's remote. As the same
remote operates both the MD recorder and the CD player
or CD player section of the component system, make sure
to place the MD recorder and the CD player as close
together as possible.
Note
• Some CD players do not allow you to synchronize CD
recording with the remote of the recorder. In this case,
use music synchro-recording on this page to synchronize
recording on the CD player and recorder.
• To operate the recorder and CD player, unplug from the
jacks of the recorder and remote and use the remote as
the wireless remote (page 16).

Starting Recording With 6
Seconds of Prestored Audio
Data
(Time Machine Recording)
Whenever the recorder is in recording pause, the
recorder's buffer memory continuously stores the latest 6
seconds worth of audio data. When you press AMS (or
T.REC), the recording then starts with the data in the
buffer memory. Time Machine Recording thus allows you
to avoid missing the beginning of material recorded live
from an FM or satellite broadcast.

Do steps 1 to 7 of "Recording on an MD" on page
18.
The recorder changes to recording pause.
2
Start playing the program source.

Press AMS (or T.REC) at the point where you want
to start recording.
Recording starts with the 6 seconds of prestored data in
the buffer memory, then continues recording via the
buffer memory thereafter.
To stop Time Machine Recording
Press x.
Note
The storage of data in the buffer memory starts from the
moment the recorder changes to recording pause. Thus, if
you start recording less than 6 seconds worth of data will
be recorded from the buffer memory.
