•Time (Time track increment)

The track will be incremented when the time set prior to recording using the menu item “A_TRK_TIME?” has passed (see “Operation basics” on page 16). The time can be set between one minute and ten minutes in one minute increments.

5 − Recording

The A.TRACK indicator blinks during recording or when in record ready mode.

This function can be turned on by pressing the AUTO TRACK key on the remote control.

Automatic track division with trim function

When Auto Track is set to either Level or DD mode, it is possible to trim the automatic track division point using A_TRK TRIM option in the REC sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 16). This function allows you to slip the start time of the track increment forwards or backwards.

NOTE

When Auto Track mode is set to Time, the value set in Auto Track Trim is ignored.

The available trim value is from -125 through +125 frames.

Use the MULTI JOG dial or MENU (+/-)key on the remote control to adjust the trim value.

Automatically Incrementing index numbers

When recording with auto track function, when INDEX INC is set to on (see “Operation basics” on page 16), the unit overrides the setting of the automatic track division, and instead of incrementing track numbers, it increments the index numbers within a track.

Use the MULTI JOG dial or MENU (+/-)key on the remote control to switch INDEX INC on or off.

Index XX where XX is index numbers will appear on the display.

NOTE

The maximum index number within a track is 99. When the unit reaches 99, it will increment the track number and start assigning index numbers counting from one.

Manually divide track

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

For details of automatic track division while recording, see “Automatic track division” on page 28.

NOTE

According to the “Red Book” (the specification for audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when adding track divisions.

This operation can not be applied while recording track 99.

1.Select the INDEX option in the SYSTEM sub- menu. Index> XXX will appear on the display. Use the MULTI JOG dial or MENU (+/-)key on the remote control to set the function on or off.

3.Press the CALL key at the point you want to assign an index number. Index XX where XX shows the number, will be displayed.

NOTE
