Marking)
You can mark track numbers either manually or
automatically while recording. By marking track numbers
at specific points, you can quickly locate the points later
or edit the MD easily.
While recording, press z at the point where you want
to add a track number.
When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected
to a DIGITAL IN connector, the deck marks track
numbers in the same sequence as the source. When
recording from other sources connected to the DIGITAL
IN connector or a source connected to the ANALOG IN
jacks, do the procedure below to mark track numbers
automatically. However, you cannot mark track numbers
automatically if the sound source to be recorded is noisy
(e.g., tapes or radio programs).

“T.Mark Lsyn(c)” appears, then press AMS or YES.

the setting, then press AMS or YES.

signal level drops to –50 dB (the trigger level for
Automatic Track Marking) or below for at least 1.5
seconds.

Additional information on Automatic Track Marking
• When recording from a CD player or an MD deck connected
to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material might be
recorded as a single track in the following cases:
— When you consecutively record the same track two or more
times using single-track repeat play.
— When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the
same track number but from different CDs or MDs.
— When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc
players.
• A track number might not be marked for tracks less than
4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural mode, and LP2
Stereo mode) or 2 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(c)” or “T.Mark Off”).
z
You can mark track numbers even after recording has
finished
See “Dividing tracks” on page 33.
Note
If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the
deck will store the last settings (“T.Mark Lsyn(c)” or “T.Mark
Off” and the trigger level) and recall them the next time you turn
on the deck.
