There has been no sound input for about 30 seconds during recording. The 30 seconds of silence are replaced by a blank of about 3 seconds and the deck changes to recording pause.

If the deck continues pausing for about 10 minutes after the Auto Cut Function activated, recording stops automatically.

Note that this function does not activate even if there has been no sound input for about 30 seconds when the deck started recording from the blank portion.

zYou can turn off the Auto Cut Function

For details, see “To turn off the Smart Space Function and Auto Cut Function” on page 14. Note that when you turn off the Auto Cut Function, the Smart Space Function is turned off automatically.
