Sony MDS-JE480 Operating Instructions Manual page 11

• A track number might not be marked for tracks less
than 4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural
mode, and LP2 Stereo mode) or 8 seconds long (in
LP4 Stereo mode) during recording.
• When recording from a component connected to the
ANALOG IN jacks with "T.Mark Off" selected or
when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire
material may be recorded as a single track.
• When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the deck
will mark a track number whenever the sampling
frequency of the input signal changes, regardless of
the track marking parameter setting ("T.Mark LSyn"
or "T.Mark Off").
Tip
You can mark track numbers even after recording has
finished. See "Dividing recorded tracks" on page 19.
