Dividing tracks (DIVIDE)

You can divide a recorded track at any point by adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful when you want to divide recorded material that contains multiple tracks but only one track number, or when you want to be able to locate a certain point in the track.

Example: Dividing the second track

When you divide a track, the total number of tracks increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are automatically renumbered.

Dividing a track after selecting the track

1While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO.

“Edit Menu” appears in the display.

2Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “Divide ?” appears, then press AMS or YES.

3Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the track you want to divide appears, then press AMS or YES.

“-Rehearsal-” appears and the deck repeatedly plays several seconds of the track from the point AMS or YES was pressed.

4While monitoring the sound, turn AMS (or press

./> repeatedly) to locate the dividing point.

You can shift the starting point by 1-frame* intervals (1 frame = 1/86 second).

The time indication (minute, second, and “f ” (frame)) of the current point is displayed and the deck plays several seconds of the track to that point repeatedly.

*When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift the starting point by 2-frame intervals (in Monaural mode and LP2 Stereo mode) or by 4-frame intervals (in LP4 Stereo mode).

To find a point quickly

Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press ./

>repeatedly).

To do this, press m/Min step 4 repeatedly to select minute, second, or “f” (frame). The selected unit flashes in the display.

5Repeat step 4 until you have located the dividing point.

6Press AMS or YES.

“Complete!!” appears for a few seconds and the track is divided. The deck starts to play the newly created track. Note that new track has no name.
