Useful Tips when Recording
from MDs to Tape
[T]
The Auto Space and Auto Pause Functions described
in this section make recording from MDs to tape more
easy.
A.SPACE
Inserting blank spaces while recording to
tape (Auto Space)
The Auto Space Function inserts a 3-second blank
space between each track while recording from MDs to
tapes, allowing you to use the AMS function during
later playback.
Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.SPACE" appears
in the display.
To cancel Auto Space
Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.SPACE" disappears.
Note
If the Auto Space Function is on while recording a selection
containing multiple track numbers, {for example, a medley
or symphony), blank spaces will be inserted within the
selection whenever the track number changes.
Pausing after each track (Auto Pause)

after playing each track. Auto Pause is convenient

consecuHve tracks.
