When recording audio from a DVD (MP3 or VCD) or recording analog audio from a CD, the MD track number increments as the CD track changes. When an external input is recorded, the MD track also increments by "1" at the moment the input signal which has been below a certain level for more than 2 seconds increases above the level. (When tuner reception is recorded, the track number may sometimes fail to increment due to signal noise, etc.). When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by "1" after such a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music. (by executing the COMBINE operation h).

During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by “1” according to the data contained in the digital information. The no-sound blank is not detected.

When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented.

A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played disc stops.

MANUAL:

With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automatically during re-

cording. Track numbers can be marked either during editing (by pressing the TRACK TRACK EDIT EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the DIVIDE operation f).

This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in live or which contains very low-level sound such as a classical music CD.
