Automatic track division
The trigger level, as set above (“Synchronized
recording” on page 29) can also be used to divide
tracks if the A-TRACK (auto track) function is
enabled.
When this function is enabled, the unit automatically
inserts a track division in the recorded material when:
• recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre-
ment signal is detected and the sound level rises
above the threshold:
or
• increment signals are unavailable (e.g. analog
recording or digital sources other than MD. CD or
DAT) and the sound level has dropped below the
threshold for more than two seconds, and sound
has re-started:
To enable or disable automatic track division:
1 With a recordable disc inserted, press the
MENU key repeatedly until A_TRACK>XX
is shown, where XX may be ON or OFF .
2 Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to
change the value as required.
The A-TRACK indicator at the top right of the
display lights when the auto track function is
enabled.
3 Press the RECORD key.
NOTE
When recording certain types of material (e.g. certain
types of classical music or spoken word) through the
analog connections, since the track divisions are deter-
mined by relative silence, it is possible that spurious
track divisions will be inserted. Under these conditions,
it may be better to use manual track division (“Manual
track division” on page 27).
It is not possible to turn this function on and off when
recording.
However, if recording through a digital connection, the
track number will be incremented only when a track
division signal is received, followed by a rise in volume.
A fall and subsequent rise in volume alone when
recording digitally from CD, MD or DAT is not sufficient
to trigger an automatic track increment.
Rec mute function
The rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the
input signal, and records four seconds of silence on
the disc.
1 While recording is in progress, press the REC
MUTE key.
The display shows REC MUTE , the meters
stop displaying the current level and the
monitored sound is cut.
2 After about four seconds, the unit enters
record ready mode.
