Additional Recording Features
Numbering Tracks
If you're recording from CD , MD , DCC or DAT , you can usually let the recorder number the tracks as they change on the
source material. Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder, you can number tracks manually
as recording is taking place. In some cases — such as recording from digital satellite or Laserdisc, or from an analog
source — auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two
seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering. Remember: it is not possible to edit track numbers after
recording.
Recording Fade Ins and Fade Outs
Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then
fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. Note that you can’t record a fade in when in synchro recording
mode (although you can record a fade out).
Recording a fade in
With the source playing, press FADER during
record-pause mode to fade in.
Recording starts with a gradual fade in.
Recording a fade out
Press FADER during recording to fade out.
After recording about five second fade out, the recorder goes into record-
pause mode. This happens in either normal or synchro record mode.
❖ You can also just press 7 (stop) if you don’t need a fade out.
If you record a fade out during all-track sync mode, the synchro mode is
canceled after the fade out (see pages 20–22 for more on synchro recording).
