Marking track numbers while
recording
— Manual/Automatic Track Marking

track numbers at specific points, you can easily
locate the points later or edit the MD.

automatically. However, you cannot mark track
numbers automatically if the sound of the
source to be recorded is noisy (e.g., tapes or
radio programs).

• 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.
