Numbering Tracks

If you're recording from CD, MD, DCC or DAT, you can usually let the recorder number the tracks as they change on the source material. Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder, you can number tracks manually as recording is taking place. In some cases— such as recording from digital satellite or Laserdisc, or from an analog source—auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering. Remember: it is not possible to edit track numbers after recording.

❖You can use manual numbering in any record mode, but it is best suited to manual digital-input or analog-input recording (see pages 23 and 25 for more on these recording modes).

3 Press TRACK NO. WRITE (MANUAL) at any point you want a new track to start.

❖CD tracks must be at least four seconds long—the recorder won't let you start a new track less than four seconds into the current track.

Recording Fade Ins and Fade Outs

Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. Note that you can’t record a fade in when in synchro recording mode (although you can record a fade out).

Recording a fade out

Press FADER during recording to fade out.

After recording about five second fade out, the recorder goes into record- pause mode. This happens in either normal or synchro record mode.

❖You can also just press 7 (stop) if you don’t need a fade out.

If you record a fade out during all-track sync mode, the synchro mode is canceled after the fade out (see pages 20–22 for more on synchro recording).

Note: If the recorder runs out of recording space on the disc before the source has finished, it will automatically record a fade out and stop recording.
