zAdditional information on Automatic Track Marking

When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected to the i.LINK S200 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 times 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 (in stereo mode, monaural mode, or LP2 mode) or eight second (in LP4 mode) long.

When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the i.LINK S200 connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track.

When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the i.LINK S200 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 Lsync” or “T.Mark Off”).

zYou can mark track numbers even after recording has finished

See “Dividing Tracks” on page 30.

Note

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

Starting Recording With 6 Seconds of Prestored Audio

Data (Time Machine Recording) Z

Whenever the deck is in recording pause, the deck’s buffer memory continuously stores the latest 6 seconds worth of audio data. When you press 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.

T.REC

1Do steps 1 to 8 of “Recording on an MD” on page 12.

The deck changes to recording pause.

2Start playing the programme source.

3Press T.REC at the point where you want to start recording.

Recording starts with the 6 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 6 seconds after changing to recording pause, less than 6 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 6 seconds at the time you start recording.
