Advanced Recording

This section covers advanced recording methods.
When the MANUAL/AUTO button is pressed, the track division mode
used during recording changes.
The A-TRACK indicator lights when the automatic track division
•
mode is enabled.
When the unit is in manual track division mode (A-TRACK
•
indicator not lit), the track number on the disc you're recording is
only increased when the RECORD button is pressed during recording.
When the A-TRACK indicator is lit, the track number is increased

when three seconds of silence is detected or when RECORD
is pressed.
ABOUT MANUAL TRACK NUMBERING
It is possible to manually divide the CD-R or CD-RW disc into tracks
while recording.
While recording is taking place, press the RECORD button.
•
The current track number will be increased by one.
Manual track division cannot be used when dubbing a disc from
•
TRAY I to a disc in TRAY II.
Manual track division can be used when A-TRACK (automatic track
•
division) is OFF or ON.
ABOUT AUTOMATIC TRACK NUMBERING
During dubbing:
A-TRACK (automatic track division) is always ON. When three
seconds of silence is detected, the unit will automatically increase to
the next track number. You cannot add track numbers manually.
When recording through a digital input from an external source:
When A-TRACK is ON, and three seconds of silence is detected,
•
the unit will automatically increase to the next track number.
If the source doesn't contain silence between the tracks,
•
A-TRACK does not work at all.
If that's the case, add track numbers by pressing the RECORD
•
button during recording.
When recording through the analog inputs from an external source:
If A-TRACK is ON, the unit will automatically increase to the next
•
track number when three seconds of silence is detected.
If A-TRACK is OFF, the track number will only be increased
•
manually by pressing RECORD during recording.
Even when A-TRACK is ON, you can also add track numbers by
•
pressing the RECORD button during recording
from an external source.
