When recording audio from a DVD (MP3 or VCD) or recording analog audio from a CD, the MD track num-
ber increments as the CD track changes. When an external input is recorded, the MD track also increments
by "1" at the moment the input signal which has been below a certain level for more than 2 seconds in-
creases above the level. (When tuner reception is recorded, the track number may sometimes fail to incre-
ment due to signal noise, etc.). When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low
level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by "1" after such a
section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when
recording such a kind of music. (by executing the COMBINE operation
h
).
During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by “1” according to the
data contained in the digital information. The no-sound blank is not detected.
When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on
the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented.
A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played disc stops.
MANUAL:
With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automatically during re-
cording. Track numbers can be marked either during editing (by pressing the TRACK
EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the DIVIDE operation
f
)
.
This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in live or
which contains very low-level sound such as a classical music CD.
