MUTE key again to unmute recording. Press and hold the MUTE key to mute the signal until you release the key. Release the MUTE key to unmute recording.

•While recording is muted, the MUTE key indicator lights up.

•Pressing RECORD key (or REC key) during a recording divides a recording into tracks (track increment).

Auto track increment DVD±RW HD

When recording, this allows the automatic division of the recorded material into separate tracks when the fol- lowing conditions occur:

1Press and hold the ATRK switch on the rec page of the virtual front panel for at least one second.

four seconds or longer. However, recording may sometimes stop if you press the RECORD key fre- quently, even at an interval of five seconds. If you plan to divide a recording into tracks repeatedly, wait about 30 seconds until you press the RECORD key again.

The auto track screen appears.

Automatic track increment in level mode

Depending on the input source, tracks are added as fol- lows:

Coaxial input When you record S/PDIF signal from a CD, MD, or DAT while DD mode is turned on, the PQ code is used to determine the track divisions. If a digital audio signal that does not contain the PQ code is input via the coaxial input, a new track is started when the signal level rises above the threshold after having fallen below the threshold for the duration specified by the LEVEL INTERVAL parameter on the auto track screen.

AES/EBU and analog inputs The threshold level (see “Setting the sound threshold level (SOUND LEVEL)” on page 35) is used to divide tracks. A new track is started when the signal level rises above the threshold after having fallen below the threshold for the duration speci- fied by the LEVEL INTERVAL parameter.

NOTE

You can also divide a recording into tracks manu- ally by pressing the RECORD key during a record- ing. Note that the DV-RA1000HD is unable to create a track with a length of four seconds or less. Make sure that you press the RECORD key at intervals of

CAUTION

On a CD, two seconds of silence automatically fol- low such a track division (no audio data is lost—the input signal is buffered before being written to the disc).

TIP

Note that tracks produced in this way must con- form to the Red Book standard (be more than four seconds long) and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc.

Setting a level interval

You can specify the duration of silence to be detected in level mode.

Move the cursor to the LEVEL INTERVAL parameter on the auto track screen, then rotate the JOG/DATA dial to set the duration in the range from one second through six seconds (in one second steps).

Press the ENTER key to confirm the setting.

Setting a delay

You can offset the automatic track increment position in level mode.

Move the cursor to highlight DELAY in the auto track screen, rotate the JOG/DATA dial to set the delay time in the range of –1.70 seconds through +1.70 seconds in

0.01steps, then press the ENTER key to confirm the set-

ting.

TIP

The automatic track increment recording in level mode starts when the audio signal rises above the specified sound threshold. Therefore, the beginning of the audio may not be recorded, or the beginning of the subsequent track may be concatenated to the end of the current track. To avoid these prob- lems, set DELAY to a negative value, change the recording start time and the start position of the source audio signal. Alternatively, you can lower the sound threshold.
