Synchronized recording

Synchronized recording basically means that recording will begin automatically when a signal is received, and will stop when the signal ends.

To enable or disable synchronized recording:

1A recordable disc must be loaded.

2With the unit in record standby mode or record mode, press the SYNC REC key.

The display shows SYNC ONbriefly, and then changes to the track and time display. When syn-

chronized recording is enabled, the SYNC indicator lights in the display.

The SYNC REC key is also used to turn off synchronized recording.

Automatic track division

The trigger level can also be used to divide tracks if the auto track function is enabled.

NOTE

When recording Vinyl to CD, since the track divisions are determined by relative silence, it is possible that spurious track divisions will be inserted. Under these conditions, it may be better to set this function off, and use manual track division explained below.

When this function is enabled, the unit automatically inserts a track division in the recorded material. Following modes are available for this function, and are displayed as described.

•LEVEL

When the sound level has dropped below the threshold for more than two seconds, and sound has re-started, the track will be divided.

•TIME

The track will be incremented as passing the time set before recording using “A_TIME” in the menu items (see “Menu operation” on page 15). The time can be set 1 minute to 10 minute increased by a minute.

•OFF

This sets the function disabled (no indicator lit).

ªª To enable or disable automatic track division:

1While record standby mode, press the MENU key repeatedly until the display shows A_TRK>XXX where XXXis the current setting.

2Use the MULTI DIAL or SKIP keys to select the de- sired auto track setting.

The A_TRACK indicator lights at the right of the display.

When the TIME mode is selected, the indicator will blink.

•DD(digital direct)

When recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, this mode detects a track boundary and divides the track.

However, when the DD mode is on, and if the analog source or non-DAT/CD/MD digital connections are detected, the track number will be incremented using level detection.

Manually divide track

While recording is taking place, press the RECORD key. The current track number is incremented by one.

NOTE

This operation cannot be applied while recording track 99.
