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.
ª 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.
Time (Time track increment)
The track will be incremented when the time set prior
to recording using the menu item “A_TRK TIME?” has
passed (see “Operation basics” on page 16). The time
can be set between one minute and ten minutes in one
minute increments. The A.TRACK indicator blinks during
recording or when in record ready mode.
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.

For details of automatic track division while recording, see
“Automatic track division” on page 27.
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.
Rec mute function
The Rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the input signal,
and records four seconds of silence on the disc.
While recording is in progress, press the
REC MUTE key on the
remote control.
The display shows the Rec Mute flashing, the meters stop display-
ing the current level and the monitored sound is cut.
After about four seconds, the unit enters record ready mode.
NOTE
This function is only available from the remote
control unit.
Restricting the number of tracks
When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the number of
tracks that nay be recorded at one time.
At any time within record or record ready mode, turn the
MULTI JOG dial to display the track numbers you want to
record.
The maximum number that can be entered is 99 tracks.
