AUTO/MANU. key
Select before starting recording.
AUTO
If a no-sound input has lasted for 2 seconds during recording, the track
number will be incremented automatically by “1”. Usually, use this
position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in
a CD. 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.
At the time of digital recording, the track number automatically is
incremented by one on the basis of the information of the digital signal.
There is no detection of unrecorded parts. A track without sound can be
produced by stopping the CD on the playback side.
MANUAL
The signal is recorded without automatic incrementation of track num-
bers. A track number can be assigned during recording (press the
EDIT
key) or after recording (operate the TRACK DIVIDE function
¤
).
This position is convenient when recording live sound or classic music
containing long pianissimo sections onto disc.
