trigger recording, remember that the start of a piece

Also remember that when recording from an analog
source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher
than the “ noise floor”. If the “ noise floor” is higher
than the threshold, a false start will occur:

Automatic track division
The trigger level 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.
To enable or disable automatic track division:
1. Use A_TRK option in the REC sub-menu to set the
mode on. The A.TRACK indicator at the top right of
the display lights.
2. Rotate and push the MULTI JOG dial to select and
enter the modes following:
DD (digital direct)
When recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, this
mode detects a track boundary and divides the track.
However, when the DD mode is on, and if the analog
source or non-DAT/CD/MD digital connections are
detected, the track number will be incremented using
level detection, as set with the A_TRK LEVEL setting
as described here.
ª
Level
When the sound level has dropped below the threshold
for more than two seconds, and sound has re-started, the
track will be divided.
Use A_TRK LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu. The
trigger level is set to -24dB to -72 dB.

At least
2 seconds

Track increment
Manually divide track
While recording is taking place, press the RECORD key.
The current track number is incremented by one.
For details of automatic track division while recording, see
“Automatic track division” on page 26.
NOTE
According to the “Red Book” (the specification for
audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds
in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks
on an audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when
adding track divisions.
This operation can not be applied while recording
track 99.
