Dividing Recorded Tracks (DIVIDE Function)

With the Divide Function you can mark a track number at places that you want to randomly access afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into multiple portions for locating positions in the middle of a track. When you divide a track, the total number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are renumbered.

Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C

Track	1	2			3
number	A		B	C	D
Dividing				Track	2 is divided and	a
				new	track is created for		C
		2
	1		3		4
	A		B	C	D
