To enable or disable automatic track division:
1 With a recordable disc inserted, and with the
unit in record ready mode, press the
MENU key
(
9
or

) repeatedly until A_TRACK>XX
is shown, where XX may be ON or OFF .
2 Turn the MULTI JOG control

or use the

to change the value to ON or
OFF .
The A-TRACK indicator at the top right of the
display lights when the auto track function is
enabled.
Automatic track division can be turned on or off
while recording is taking place.
NOTE
When recording certain types of material (e.g. certain
types of classical music or spoken word) through the
analog connections, since the track divisions are
determined by relative silence, it is possible that spu-
rious track divisions will be inserted. Under these
conditions, it may be better to use manual track divi-
sion (4.2.3, “Manual track division”).
However, if recording through a digital connection, the track
number will be incremented only when a track division sig-
nal is received, followed by a rise in volume.
A fall and subsequent rise in volume alone when recording
digitally from CD, MD or DAT is not sufficient to trigger an
automatic track increment.
You may find it helpful to use the track restriction
facility (see 4.2.4, “Restricting the number of
tracks”) together with the automatic track division.
For instance, if you have recorded two albums on one
DAT tape, and you wish to make two separate CDs
from this tape, you can use the
MULTI JOG control to
set the number of tracks to the number of tracks com-
prising the first album.
When the final track of the first album has been
recorded, the unit automatically performs the PMA
writing procedure and enters stop mode.
4.3.4 Digital direct
As mentioned earlier, the digital direct mode
bypasses some of the input circuitry of the CD-
RW700 (the frequency convertor and the digital level
control) to write directly to the disc.
To enable or disable digital direct recording:
1 Ensure that the input source is set to DIGITAL
(either COAXIAL or OPTICAL ).
2 Press the DIGITAL DIRECT key
