Dividing Recorded Tracks
(Divide Function)
With the Divide Function you can mark a track number
at places that you want to randomly access afterwards.
Use this function to add tracks to MDs recorded from
an analog source (and therefore contain no track
numbers), or to divide an existing track into multiple
portions for locating positions in the middle of a track.
When you divide a track, the total number of tracks on
the MD increases by one and all tracks following the
divided track are renumbered.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C

system, not a mechanical error.
