Marking track numbers
You can mark track numbers:

Track numbers are automatically marked as on
the original source during recording from this
system’s CD player or components connected
to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack. However,
track numbers may not be marked for some
tracks (see page 65). Use the Level Synchro
Recording function to automatically mark track
numbers during recording from this system’s
tuner or components connected to the
ANALOG IN jack or the TAPE IN jacks.
However, you may not mark track numbers
automatically if the sound source to be recorded
is noisy (e.g., tapes or radio programmes).

At any point during recording
You can mark track numbers during recording
any sources.
•
After recording
Use the Divide function (see page 47).
