5.   Press the 

MULTI JOG

 dial on the main unit or the 

ENTER

 key on the remote control. 

When "Level" is selected

 

ª

If the input signal is analog and its level becomes less than 
–41 dB for two seconds or more, a new track is created 
(track number incremented) when an input level of –41 dB 
is detected again. 

If the input signal is digital (COAXIAL or OPTICAL), and 
the input source is not a CD or MD, new tracks are created 
in the same manner as for analog input, but the detection 
level is –61 dB.

When the input signal is digital (COAXIAL or OPTICAL), 
and the input source is a CD or MD, new tracks are 
created when both track information and level changes are 
detected.

When "Time" is selected

 

ª

When the auto track operation time is reached, a new track 
is automatically created (track number incremented). Use 
the “A_TRK TIME?” item in the menu to set this time.

MENU

 key on the main unit or the remote 

control.

ENTER

minutes. 

5.   Press the 

MULTI JOG

 dial on the main unit or the 

ENTER

 key on the remote control. 

NOTE

All auto track settings are retained even when the power 
is turned OFF. 

If the auto track operation time is changed while 
recording, the new time setting becomes effective after 
the next track. 

Manually creating tracks (incrementing track 

numbers)

When recording, press the 

RECORD

 key whenever you 

want to create a new track (increment the track number). 

Creating track after recording

In addition, you can merge tracks (see “Combining tracks 

(COMBINE)” on page 28). 

Fade-in and fade-out recording

This unit can fade-in the beginning of a recording and
