The AI edit recording function enables CD recording without
worrying about tape length and track length. When a CD is
inserted, the unit automatically calculates the total track lengths.
If necessary, the order of tracks is rearranged so that no track is
cut short.

Time on cassette tapes and editing time
The actual cassette recording time is usually a little longer than
the specified recording time printed on the label. This unit can
program tracks to use the extra time. When the total recording
time is a little longer than the tape’s specified recording time
after editing, the display shows the extra time (without a minus
mark), instead of the time remaining on the tape (with the minus
mark).
NOTE
• The AI edit recording function cannot be used with discs
containing 31 tracks or more. “TR OVER” is displayed if this is
attempted.
• Recording is inhibited if the erasure prevention tab on either
side of the tape facing out from the unit is broken off.
