NOTE

If you set the value so that only high-level signals trigger recording, remember that the start of a piece may not be record as in the diagram.

Also remember that when recording from an analog source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher than the“ noise floor”. If the“ noise floor” is higher than the threshold, a false start will occur:

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.

ªTo 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.

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.

Manually divide track

While recording is taking place, press the RECORD key. The current track number is incremented by one.

For details of automatic track division while recording, see “Automatic track division” on page 26.

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.
