Inserting blanks between 
tracks during play (Auto 
Space)

The MD deck can be set to automatically insert 
a three-second blank between tracks during 
play. This function is useful when you are 
recording from an MD to an analogue tape. The 
three-second blank enables you to use the 
Multi-AMS function later to locate the 
beginning of tracks on the tape.

containing multiple track numbers (for example, a 
medley or symphony), blank spaces will be created on 
the tape between the various sections.

Pausing after each track 
(Auto Pause)

You can set the MD deck so that it pauses after 
each track to give you time to locate the next 
track to be recorded.
