You can mark track numbers at any time while recording on an MD.

Press rREC at the place you want to add a track mark while recording.

Marking track numbers automatically (Automatic Track Marking)

The deck adds track marks differently in the following cases:

•When recording from CDs or MDs with the INPUT switch set at OPT1, OPT2 or COAX:

The deck marks track numbers automatically. However, the Automatic Track Marking Function may not activate when recording from some CD players and multi disc players.

•In all other cases:

If “T.Mark LSyn” is selected in Setup Menu 02, the deck marks a new track number whenever the signal drops to the specified level or below for about

1.5 seconds or longer, then rises to a specified level.

To select “T.Mark Off” or “T.Mark LSyn” in Setup Menu 02, do the procedure below:

1While the deck is stopped, press MENU/NO twice to display “Setup Menu”.

2Turn AMS to select “Setup 02”, then press AMS.

3Turn AMS to select “T.Mark Off” or “T.Mark LSyn”, then press AMS.

“L.SYNC” lights up when you select “T.Mark LSyn”.

4Press MENU/NO.

zYou can set the reference level that must pass before a rise marks a new track number

In Automatic Track Marking, the input signal must remain at or below a given reference level for

1.5 seconds or longer before a rise above the reference level will mark a new track number.

Do the following procedure to specify the reference level. Note that “T.Mark LSyn” should be selected in Setup Menu 02.

1 While the deck is stopped, press MENU/NO twice to display “Setup Menu”.

2 Turn AMS to select “Setup 03”, then press AMS.

3 Turn AMS to set the reference level.

You can set the reference level at –72 dB to 0 dB in 2 dB steps.

4 After selecting the reference level, press AMS.

If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the deck will recall the last settings of the Automatic Track Marking Function (“T.Mark LSyn” or “T.Mark Off”) the next time you turn on the deck.
