zYou can determine how the unit will assign new track numbers when you choose “L.Sync On” in the Setup Menu

When you choose “L.Sync On” in the Setup Menu, and the input signal goes below a certain reference level for a certain amount of time, the next time the input level rises above that level the unit determines that the song has changed and marks a new track number automatically.

You can adjust the following parameters using the Setup Menu:

–The reference level for the input signal.

–The length of time the input signal must remain below the reference level.

–The length of time before the unit marks the new track number once it determines that the song has changed.

1During stop, record, or record-pause mode, press EDIT/NO twice to display the Setup Menu.

2Turn AMS to select one of the following parameters, then press AMS.

–To change the reference level : LS (T)*

–To change the length of time the input signal must remain below the reference level : LS (W)

–To change the length of time before a new track number is marked once the unit determines the song has changed : LS (O)*

3Turn AMS (* or scrub dial) to set the value you desire, then press AMS.

4Press EDIT/NO.

The adjustable range of each parameter is as follows. The numbers in parenthesis are the default values.

LS (T) : –72 dB to –0 dB in 2 dB steps (–50 dB)

LS (W): 0s to 9.5s in 0.5s steps (1.5s)

LS (O) : 0s00f to 9s85f in 1f steps (2s00f)

When LS (O) is a negative (–) value, the unit assigns new track numbers by counting backwards from the point where it determined that the song has changed.

Recording during Playback (Backtrack recording)

This unit allows you to record on an MD (from CD, etc.) while the MD is playing back. Alternatively, you could connect this unit to a mixer, mix the sound of the MD with the sound of another component, and simultaneously record the mixed sound back to the same MD. During playback, sound is recorded to the blank space on the MD. Make sure the program source is connected and that this unit’s INPUT is set correctly before you begin. See page 5 for details on connections and page 23 for details on the INPUT switch.
