Automatic track division

The trigger level, as set above (“Synchronized recording” on page 29) can also be used to divide tracks if the A-TRACK (auto track) function is enabled.

When this function is enabled, the unit automatically inserts a track division in the recorded material when:

To enable or disable automatic track division:

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the value as required.

The A-TRACKindicator at the top right of the display lights when the auto track function is enabled.

3Press the RECORD key.

NOTE

When recording certain types of material (e.g. certain types of classical music or spoken word) through the analog connections, since the track divisions are deter- mined by relative silence, it is possible that spurious track divisions will be inserted. Under these conditions, it may be better to use manual track division (“Manual track division” on page 27).

It is not possible to turn this function on and off when recording.

However, if recording through a digital connection, the track number will be incremented only when a track division signal is received, followed by a rise in volume.
