5. PreRecord
When PreRecord is on and the PMD560 is in record-pause,
it 'listens to' the selected audio input(s) and continuously

7. Auto Trk
With Auto Trk (Automatic Track incrementing) on, a new
track begins automatically at specified intervals of recording
time.
• Automatic Track can be set to increment every 1, 5, 10,
15 or 30 minutes, or every 1, 2, 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours.
• Automatic Track makes finding a particular point in a
recording easier.
For example, if a new track begins every minute during
playback :
• The Minute Tracks make finding a particular passage
easier because of the relationship between track numbers
and time.
• You can select track 3 to play approximately the 3rd
minute of recording.
• You can go directly to the beginning of the 10th minute by
selecting track 10, etc.
