∫Putting track marks
Track marks are put automatically as follows.
DIGITAL
When recording from a CD or MD
The track marks are put onto the MD corresponding to the tracks on the other disc. (Track marks may not correspond to track numbers with some discs.)
When recording from other digital sources
2 seconds of silence is determined as the division between two tracks and a track mark is added.
ANALOG
2 seconds of silence is determined as the division between two tracks and a track mark is added.
Note
Track marks will not be added if the space between tracks is short or if there is noise in the space. Track marks may be added in error if there is a silent or especially quiet portion in a track. Use the editing functions after recording to add and remove track marks. (See pages 90 to 91.)

∫Note for long play recording
≥You can record using normal stereo, LP2 stereo, and LP4 stereo on the same disc.
≥“LP:”is added to the beginning of titles recorded with LP2 or LP4 but this is not displayed on this unit.
≥LP4 mode uses a special compression method in order to achieve extended recording and this may rarely cause some noise when recording some material. Use standard stereo or LP2 mode for better sound quality.
≥The mode reverts to normal stereo recording when you replace the battery or unplug the AC adaptor.
