Marking track numbers while
recording
— Manual/Automatic Track Marking
You can mark track numbers either manually or
automatically while recording. By marking
track numbers at specific points, you can
quickly locate the points later or edit the MD
easily.

Marking track numbers automatically

connected to the DIGITAL IN connector or a
source connected to the ANALOG IN jacks, do
the procedure below to mark track numbers
automatically. However, you cannot mark track
numbers automatically if the sound source to be
recorded is noisy (e.g., tapes or radio
programs).

Tips for automatic track marking
• When recording from a CD player or an MD deck
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire
material might be recorded as a single track in the
following cases:
— When you consecutively record the same track
two or more times using single-track repeat play.
— When you consecutively record two or more
tracks with the same track number but from
different CDs or MDs.
— When you record tracks from certain CD or
multi-disc players.
• A track number might not be marked for tracks less
than 4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural
mode, and LP2 Stereo mode) or 8 seconds long (in
LP4 Stereo mode) during recording.
• When recording from a component connected to the
ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or
when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire
material may be recorded as a single track.
