Hold down [TAP] and press [MARK].
A CD track marker is created at that point, and a "T"
will appear in the top screen's Marker box. At the
same time, the CD track number is automatically set
as that marker's name (i.e. CD01).

• Data cannot be written to an audio CD between the beginning of an audio track (i.e., time zero) and the first CD track
marker. If you want to write to an audio CD from the very start of an audio track, press [ZERO] to return to the start of
that track and then carry out Step 3.
• CD track markers cannot be created within 100 ms of one another. If this prevents a marker from being positioned,
clear the pre-existing marker and then carry out Step 3. ("Clearing markers" (Owner's Manual; p. 48))
• Be sure to save your song before creating an audio CD. Settings will not be stored until your song is saved, and this
can result in song divisions not being recognized correctly during the writing process.
• A maximum of 99 songs can be written to a single audio CD. If you try to set a CD track marker that will result in this
number being exceeded, the message "Marker Memory Full!" will be displayed and you won't be able to set it.
• Audio CD standards require that a CD track be at least four second long. CD track markers that define a CD track
lasting less than four seconds are disregarded when the CD is being created.
What is finalization?
In addition to audio data, information such as the position and time of this data is also written to audio CDs, and this
process is known as "Finalizing." If you intend to play your audio CD on a standard CD player, it is important that
finalization be carried out. Once this has been done, however, you will not be able to add any more songs to the CD.
For this reason, you should aim to carry out the finalization of a CD-R/RW disc only when it is nearly full of songs.
If you don't finalize:
It will not be possible to play your audio CD on a standard CD player until it has been finalized; however, you can
keep adding songs to the disc until this process is carried out. The CD-R disc that is not finalized during the writing
process can be finalized later on. For more details regarding methods for finalization after the writing of audio data,
refer to "Enabling playback on CD players (Finalize)" (Owner's Manual; p. 218).
The BR-1600CD features a number of other convenient functions for use during the creation of audio CDs. For more
details, refer to "Convenient functions for audio CD creation" (Owner's Manual; p. 216).

Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each of the
points at which you want the track to
be divided.
Any CD track markers accidentally created at the
wrong position can be easily removed. ("Clearing
markers" (Owner's Manual; p. 48))
If you wish to create an audio CD using
these settings, save the current song (p. 56).
This completes the division of the song and the
preparation for writing it to a CD-R/RW disc. Let's
now write the tracks and make an audio CD.
