Marking track numbers automatically (Automatic Track Marking)

The deck adds track marks differently in the following cases:

The deck marks track numbers automatically. However, the Automatic Track Marking Function may not activate when recording from some CD players and multi disc players.

In Automatic Track Marking, the input signal must remain at or below a given reference level for

1.5 seconds or longer before a rise above the reference level will mark a new track number.
