Auto Trk
With Auto Trk (Automatic Track incrementing) On, new track is begun automatically at specified intervals of recording time.
Automatic Tracks are silent. Playback across an Automatic Track does not produce any sound.
Automatic Track can be set to increment every 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes or every 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
Minute track
Automatic Tracks make finding a particular point in a recording easier. For example if a new track is begun every minute. During playback the Minute Tracks make finding a particular passage easier because of the relationship between track numbers and time. During playback you can select track 3 to play approximately the 3rd minute of recording. To go directly to the beginning of the 10th minute select track 10, etc.
