Useful Tips When Recording
From MDs to Tape
g
The Auto Space and Auto Pause Functions described in
this section make recording from MDs to tape more
easy.
Inserting blank spaces while recording to
tape (Auto Space)
The Auto Space Function inserts a 3-second blank
space between each track while recording from MDs to
tapes, allowing you to use the AMS function during
playback later.
Press A.SPACE/PAUSE (or A.SPACE) repeatedly until
“A.SPACE” appears in the display.
To cancel Auto Space
Press A.SPACE/PAUSE (or A.SPACE) repeatedly until
“A.SPACE” disappears.
Note
If the Auto Space Function is on while recording a selection
containing multiple track numbers, (for example, a medley
or symphony), blank spaces will be inserted within the
selection whenever the track number changes.
Pausing after each track (Auto Pause)
When the Auto Pause Function is on, the recorder
pauses after playing each track. Auto Pause is
convenient when recording single tracks or multiple,
non-consecutive tracks.
Press A.SPACE/PAUSE (or A.SPACE) repeatedly until
“A.PAUSE” appears in the display.

Notes on Editing
You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using
the following functions:
• Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks
simply by specifying the corresponding track
number.
• Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at
specified points so that you can quickly locate those
points afterwards, using the AMS function.
• Combine Function allows you to combine two
consecutive tracks into one.
• Move Function allows you to change the order of
tracks by moving a specific track to a desired track
position.
• Title Function allows you to create titles for your
recorded MDs and tracks.
If “Protected” appears in the display
The recorder could not edit because the record-protect slot
on the MD is open. Edit after closing the slot (see page 7.)
When “TOC” flashes in the display
Do not move the recorder or pull out the AC power cord.
After editing, “TOC” lights continuously until you eject the
MD. “TOC” flashes while the recorder is updating the TOC.
When the recorder finishes updating the TOC, “TOC”goes
off.
Erasing Recordings
(Erase Function)
Follow the procedures below to erase:
• A single track
• All tracks
• Part of a track
Note, however, that once erased, MD data cannot
be recovered.
