Dividing Tracks - Sony MDS-S41 Operating Instructions Manual

Dividing Tracks

You can divide a recorded track at any point simply by
adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful
when you want to divide recorded material which
contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see
page 18), or when you want to locate a certain point in the
track.
