5 – Recording—Index operations TASCAM CD-RW402 Owner’s Manual 39
Index operations
Many CDs contain index informatio n as sub-track
divisions, often in classical music to mark scene divi-
sions in opera or the beginning of instrumental pas-
sages, etc. The CD-RW402 also supports indexes,
and allows you to carry out a number of useful opera-
tions with regard to them.
Note that although both drives of the CD-RW402 can
display index markers, there is no index locate facil-
ity built into the CD-RW402.
Index increment
Whether the index increment option is on or off (see
below), it is possible to increment the in dex markers
manually by pressing the drive 2 CALL key as
recording takes place.
However, by setting the index increment option on,
index markers outside the tracks in the SUB-Q code
of SPDIF digital signals will be au tomatically
recorded. Index numbers are shown in small digits to
the right of the track number.

stated time as marked on the disc.
To check this:
1Press and hold the RECORD key of drive 2
(in stop mode) for more than 2 seconds.

MULTI DIAL or REC key to start the check,

shows ExtendCheck with a flashing * (asterisk)
to the right for some time.
When the check is complete, the display

The check can be interrupted by pressing the
Drive 2 STOP key. No other key is enabled
while the check is taking place.

NOTE
Although the CD-RW402 may report that extended
recording may take place on a disc, it may be that
extended recording is not actually possible when it is
attempted.
Because such extended recording does not conform to
the Orange Book standard, discs created in this way
may not be playable on other CD players.
