START
If set to ON, recording automatically starts if the unit is
in recording standby and detects an input signal with a
level higher than that set in the AUTO LEVEL item.
STOP
Set the time from detecting that the input signal level is
lower than the AUTO LEVEL setting until the unit stops
recording and resumes standby. Choose OFF (default
setting), 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds.
DIV
When set to ON, the recording file is divided when
the input signal level becomes higher than the AUTO
LEVEL setting again after 2 or more seconds below that
setting level.
6 Press the HOME key to return to the Home screen.
When the automatic recording function is ON, the
level set in the AUTO LEVEL item is shown, as in the
following illustrations, on the display meters when in
recording standby (left) or recording (right).
TIP
You can automatically skip unnecessary silent moments
during recording by using START and STOP. If you want
to divide recording files at each silence but do not want
to skip silence, activate DIVIDE only. Using the combi-
nation of START, STOP and DIVIDE, you can set the
unit to record while only skipping silences longer than
5 seconds (time set in STOP) or dividing files at each
silence, for example.
Adding performances to an existing
recording (OVERDUB)
While playing back a track from a CD (BB-1000CD only)

together (overdubbing) on an SD card. For example, you
can record new layers of sound or record playing or singing
along with a karaoke track.
In the following procedures, the playback and perfor-
mance sounds are recorded together by the built-in
