Recording blank sections

This feature is useful wherever you need some blank space recorded on the disc, for instance, at the end of a recording session so that the next track doesn't follow the last too closely. Note that you can’t start a recording with a muted section; only after a recording has started, or at the end of a recording.

Checking what's at the end of a disc

You don't have to record a whole disc at once. Until you finalize the disc, further recording is possible from the end of the last track you recorded (assuming there are fewer than 99 tracks already on the disc). Here's how to check what's on the last recorded section of the disc before recording new material:

1Press ¦ RECORD.

The recorder goes into record-pause mode.

2Press and hold 1.

You'll hear the last recorded track in reverse. Release the button and the track plays normally to the end.

While the track is playing you can use the 1and Á.

If you press ¦RECORD again while the track's playing, the recorder jumps to the end of the track and goes into record- pause.

When the track has played out, the recorder automatically enters record-pause again.

3Once the player is back in record-pause mode you can go ahead and record normally.

If you decide you don’t want to record, just press 7.
