(9) Incrementing Track Numbers

During recording, track numbers can be incremented either manually or automatically.

•Track numbers can be incremented manually in the following three ways:

1)Press the REC button (4) during recording. This increments the track number.

2)Press the PLAY/PAUSE button (13) during recording to stop recording for that track number and set the recording pause mode.

3)After recording, use the divide function.

•Track numbers can be incremented automatically in the following three ways, according to the type of input signal:

Input type		Method
Analog/digital input		Detection of soundless section 1)
	CDs	Detection of soundless section 1)
	and
		Using the CD’s or MD’s subcodes 2)
Digital input	MDs
	DATs	Detection of soundless section 1)
		Using the DAT’s start IDs 3)

1)Detection of soundless section

q Make the following two presettings:

•Set “AutoInc OFF” 14) to “AutoInc Det.”

•Set the soundless detection level setting to “IncDet. (–60) dB” 13).

wStart playback and recording in such a way that the beginning of the sound is not missed. When a soundless section (or a section with level lower than the preset soundless detection level setting) of at least 2 continuous seconds is detected, the disc’s track number is automatically incremented.

2 seconds or more

NOTE: The auto track increment function may not work when recording analog signals containing much noise. In this case lower the detection level to for example –54 dB.

2)Using the CD’s or MD’s subcodes (digital input) q Make the following presetting:

•Set “AutoInc OFF” 14) to “AutoInc Dig.”

wStart playback on the CD (MD) player and recording on the recorder in such a way that the beginning of the sound is not missed. The disc’s track number is automatically incremented when the CD’s (MD’s) track number changes. Changes in the CD’s (MD’s) track number will not be detected for approximately 4 seconds after the track number is incremented.

3)Using the DAT’s start IDs (digital input)

q Record the start ID on the recorded DAT. w Make the following presetting:

•Set “AutoInc OFF” 14) to “AutoInc Dig.”

eStart playback on the DAT player and recording on the recorder in such a way that the beginning of the sound is not missed. The disc’s track number is automatically incremented when the DAT’s start ID is detected. The start ID will not be detected for 15 seconds after the track number is incremented.

(10) Pre-UTOC Function

• Presettings must be set. (Refer to Page 15.)

This function protects the recording should the power supply be cut off. The UTOC is written directly after recording starts.

(The pre-UTOC is written.)

Normally the UTOC is written after recording is completed, so if the power supply should be cut off during the recording or directly after the recording is finished, the recording will not be registered on the disc. To prevent this, the pre-UTOC (*1) is registered on the disc directly after recording starts. Once recording is completed normally, the actual UTOC (*2) is written. If the power should be cut before the actual UTOC is written, the disc can be played according to the pre-UTOC. This way you never accidentally lose recordings that cannot be made over again.

End of recording

If some problem occurs and recording is interrupted, the same recording and UTOC can be written using the following editing operation:

Use the divide function at the point where recording was interrupted in track 03 on the above diagram to divide the track, then use the erase function to erase track 04.

NOTE:

The auto track increment function using the DAT’s start ID or the CD’s sub codes will not work if the digital input is in professional format (AES/EBU). Input digital signals of the consumer format (SPDIF).
