Inserting Markers
You can insert up to eight markers in a song during recording or playback. Markers are a con-
venient way to locate specific points within a song. They can be adjusted and erased. The Start
and End markers, which are inserted automatically when recording, cannot be adjusted or
erased.
Markers can also be used to arrange sections of a song into a Cue List. See Cue List Playback &
Copy on page 42 for more information.
1. To insert a marker, press the [MARK] button during recording or playback.
MARK X appears on the display for a few seconds and the corresponding marker box flashes.
Press the [MARK] button again to insert further markers.
2. When you’ve finished, press the [TOC WRITE] button to update the TOC.
If a new marker is inserted between two existing markers, subsequent markers are renumbered,
as shown below.
Marker Indicators
Marker indicators show the current song position relative to markers. When a song is positioned
on or after a marker, the corresponding marker indicator flashes. When the song position moves
to the next marker, the next marker indicator flashes. The following illustration shows this.
