Automatically
numbering
tracks
If you're recording from CD, MD,
DCC or DAT, you can usually let
the recorder number the tracks
automatically as they change on
the source material. When
recording other digital or analog
sources, the recorder will start a
new track if it detects more than
2 seconds of silence. However if
you’re recording noisy source
material or a classical recording
with long quiet sections, the
recorder may not always
regognize the gap between
tracks. For this reason you can
adjust the level of sound that the
recorder regards as ‘silence’.
Each input (analog, coaxial and
optical) has its own threshold
level, which can be set
independently.
Note: The minimum analog
threshold level is -66dB.

stopped, press MENU/
DELETE.

2 Turn the jog dial until A.LVL
appears in the display, then
press to ENTER.
The display shows the current
‘silence’ threshold for automatic
track numbering. The default is -
54dB.
3 Turn the jog dial ( 4 4 4 4 4 and
¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ on the remote) to
change the threshold level.
Turning the dial cycles through
the following levels:
-78dB to -66dB – Use these
levels if you find the recorder is
putting in new track numbers
during very quiet sections of
classical music, for example.
-60dB to -48dB – A ‘mid’ level
suitable for most recordings.
-42dB to -24dB – If you find that
the recorder is not putting in new
track numbers because the
original source is too noisy.
4 Press the jog dial (ENTER)
to confirm the new level.
If the AUTO TRK indicator is not lit,
press AUTO / MANUAL to switch it
on. To check that tracks will
start at the correct points on the
recording, see
Monitoring a
source on page 36.
Manually
numbering
tracks
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
mixer, 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.
1 Make sure automatic track
numbering is switched OFF.
If the AUTO TRK indicator is lit,
press AUTO / MANUAL to switch it
off.
2 Start recording.
You can use manual numbering in
any record mode, but it is best
suited to manual digital-input or
analog-input recording (see page
18 for more on these recording
modes).
3 Press RECORD ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ at any
point you want a new track
to start.
CD tracks must be at least four
seconds long—the recorder won’t
let you start a new track less
than four seconds into the
current track.
