Track Programming For Recording To Tape; For Cdc-902 Only; Automatic Tape Programming - Yamaha 502 Owner's Manual

time, the unit will automatically program tracks or help you to program tracks so they will fit onto the tape with the least amount of
unrecorded space remaining at each end of the tape.
