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.

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.
