zAdditional information on Automatic Track Marking

•When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected to the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/2 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 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 (OPTICAL) IN1/2 connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track.

•When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/2 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 32.

Note

If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the deck will store the last settings (“T.Mark LSync” or “ T.Mark Off” and the trigger level) and apply them the next time you turn on the deck.
