Operations after Recording (continued)

Dividing a track

You can divide a recorded track. Note that
tracks cannot be combined on the recorder
after they have been divided.
1
During recording, record pausing,
playback, or playback pausing, press the
DIVIDE button.
The track is divided into two at the point
you pressed the button, and "DIVIDING"
appears in the display.
Notes
• Divided tracks are named as follows:
– During recording/record pausing: The new track
will have a new name in the same way as when a
new recording starts.
– During playback/playback pausing: "_0" is added
to the name of the original track, and "_1" is
added to the name of the new track. However, if
the original track name is less than 8 bytes,
underbars "_" are added to make a 10-byte
name. For example, when dividing the file named
"123.WAV", the tracks are named
"123______0.WAV" and "123______1.WAV".
• Tracks cannot be divided if:
– you press the button in the position within less
than 0.5 second from the beginning or the end of
a track.
– the total number of recorded track reaches the
maximum number of recordable tracks (page 48).
("TRACK FULL" appears in the display.)
– the new track name exceeds the maximum
number of characters (227 bytes without ".WAV").
