2Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit enters record ready mode. The time between the stopping of the source and entering record ready mode is used to record a gap at the end of the track.

3If no changes are made to the unit’s controls, restarting the source restarts recording, as the unit is still in sync mode and will start record- ing again when the source is detected.

NOTE

When recording in sync mode, you may notice a slight delay between starting the source, and the CD- RW2000 responding. This is due to the way in which the unit works, storing the data in a memory buffer before writing it to the disc. The resulting delay is therefore not a cause for concern—all audio data received between the start and end points will be recorded.

4.3.2Automatic track division

The trigger level, as set above (4.3.1, “Synchronized recording” 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:

•recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre- ment signal is detected and the sound level rises above the threshold:

	Track increment	CD-RW
		increments
	from source
level		track
S_LVL
		time

threshold for more than two seconds, and sound has re-started

	Track
	increment
level	At least 2
	seconds
S_LVL
	time

To enable or disable automatic track division:

1With a recordable disc inserted, and with the unit in record ready mode, press the MENU key (9 or 6) repeatedly until A_TRACK>XX is shown, where XX may be ON or OFF.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL control B or use the SKIP keys Hto change the value to ON or

OFF.

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

Automatic track division can be turned on or off while recording is taking place.

NOTE

When recording certain types of material (e.g. cer- tain types of classical music or spoken word) through the analog connections, since the track divisions are determined by relative silence, it is possible that spu- rious track divisions will be inserted. Under these conditions, it may be better to use manual track divi- sion (4.2.3, “Manual track division”).

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