Sync recording with trim function

This Sync trim function allows you to override the auto-
matic sync recording where necessary, to chang the start
time of the track forwards or backwards.
Use the SYNC TRIM option in the REC sub-menu to
turn the function on (see "Operation basics" on page
16).

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
inserts 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

2. Rotate and push the MULTI JOG
and enter the modes following:
• 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 incremented using
