When track bouncing to a new song completes, the recorder automatically stops and the dis- play shows the home screen of the new song. The song name of the new song is given by the name of the original song with “-**” (** is a two-digit number).

You can check the result by following the pro- cedure described in “Checking the bounced signals on tracks 15/16” on page 81.
