TRACK PROGRAMMING FOR RECORDING TO TAPE

This convenient feature can be used to program tracks on a disc for recording to tape. By only memorizing the tape’s total possible recording time, the unit will automatically program tracks or help you to program tracks so they will fit onto the tape with the least amount of unrecorded space remaining at each end of the tape.
