A track number might not be marked for tracks less than 4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural mode, and LP2 Stereo mode) or 8 seconds long (in LP4 Stereo mode) during recording.

When recording from a component connected to the ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track.

When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the deck will mark a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes, regardless of the track marking parameter setting (“T.Mark LSyn” or “T.Mark Off”).

Tip

You can mark track numbers even after recording has finished. See “Dividing recorded tracks” on page 19.

Erasing blank portions automatically (Smart Space/ Auto Cut)

The Smart Space function lets you make the blank spaces between tracks 3 seconds long automatically. If the Smart Space function is on and there is no sound input for about 3 seconds or more (but less than 30 seconds) while recording, the deck replaces this silence with a blank space of about 3 seconds and continues recording.

Notes

Smart Space does not affect the order of the track numbers being recorded, even if the blank space occurs in the middle of a track.
