Note

You cannot divide a track if:

•the track has been transferred from a computer.

•the track has been recorded in Hi-MD mode using the MD Simple Burner software.

•the dividing point is at the beginning or end of the track.

•the division would cause the total number of tracks on the disc to exceed the maximum allowed (2,047 tracks for a disc used in Hi-MD mode or 254 tracks for a disc used in MD mode).

T MARK

Dividing a track directly

While playing or pausing, press T MARK on the recorder at the point you want to mark.

“MARK ON” appears in the display, and a track mark is added. The track number will increase by one.

To add track marks while recording (except while synchro-recording)

Press T MARK at the point you want to add a track mark.

You can use “Time Mark” to add track marks automatically at specified intervals (except while digital recording) (page 32).

Combining tracks (Combine)

When you record with analog (line) input, unnecessary track marks may be recorded where recording level is low. You can erase a track mark to combine the tracks before and after the track mark.

The track numbers will change as follows.

•one of the two tracks or the both tracks have been recorded in Hi-MD mode using the MD Simple Burner software.

•the tracks are recorded in different recording mode.
