Marking Track Numbers While Recording

(Track Marking)

zAdditional information on Automatic Track Marking

•When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track in the following cases:

—When you consecutively record the same track two or more time using single-track repeat play.

—When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the same track number but from different CDs or MDs.

—When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc players.

Also, if the source is an MD, a track number may not be marked for tracks less than four seconds long.

•When recording from a component connected to the LINE (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”).

zYou can mark track numbers even after recording has finished

See “Dividing Tracks” on page 33.

Note

If you turn off the deck or disconnect the mains lead, the deck will store the last settings (“T.Mark Lsyn” or “T.Mark Off” and the trigger level) and recall them the next time you turn on the deck.

Starting Recording With Six Seconds of Prestored Audio

Data (Time Machine Recording)

Whenever the deck is in recording pause, the deck’s buffer memory continuously stores the latest six seconds worth of audio data. When you press AMS (or T.REC), the recording then starts with the data in the buffer memory. Time Machine Recording thus allows you to avoid missing the beginning of material recorded live from an FM or satellite broadcast.

AMS

1Do steps 1 to 7 of “Recording on an MD” on pages 15 and 16.

The deck changes to recording pause.

2Start playing the programme source.

3Press AMS (or T.REC) at the point where you want to start recording.

Recording starts with the six seconds of prestored data in the buffer memory, then continues recording via the buffer memory thereafter.

To stop Time Machine Recording

Press x.

Note

The storage of data in the buffer memory starts from the moment the deck changes to recording pause. Thus, if you start recording less than six seconds after changing to recording pause, less than six seconds worth of data will be recorded from the buffer memory. The same is true if the programme source had been playing for less than six seconds at the time you start recording.
