Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit
enters record ready mode. The time between
the stopping of the source and entering record
ready mode is used to record a gap at the end
of the track.

If no changes are made to the unit’s controls,
restarting the source restarts recording, as the
unit is still in sync mode and will start record-
ing again when the source is detected.
NOTE
When recording in sync mode, you may notice a
slight delay between starting the source, and the CD-
RW2000 responding. This is due to the way in which
the unit works, storing the data in a memory buffer
before writing it to the disc. The resulting delay is
therefore not a cause for concern—all audio data
received between the start and end points will be
recorded.
4.3.2
Automatic track division
The trigger level, as set above (4.3.1, “Synchronized
recording” can also be used to divide tracks if the A-
TRACK (auto track) function is enabled. When this
function is enabled, the unit automatically inserts a
track division in the recorded material when:
• recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre-
ment signal is detected and the sound level rises
above the threshold:
or
• increment signals are unavailable (e.g. analog
recording or digital sources other than MD. CD or
DAT) and the sound level has dropped below the
threshold for more than two seconds, and sound
has re-started
To enable or disable automatic track division:
1
With a recordable disc inserted, and with the
unit in record ready mode, press the
MENU
key
(
9
or
6
) repeatedly until
A_TRACK>XX
is shown, where
XX
may be
ON
or
OFF
.
2
Turn the
MULTI DIAL
control
B
or use the
SKIP
keys
H
to change the value to
ON
or
OFF
.
The
A-TRACK
indicator at the top right of the
display lights when the auto track function is
enabled.
Automatic track division can be turned on or off
while recording is taking place.
NOTE
When recording certain types of material (e.g. cer-
tain types of classical music or spoken word) through
the analog connections, since the track divisions are
determined by relative silence, it is possible that spu-
rious track divisions will be inserted. Under these
conditions, it may be better to use manual track divi-
sion (4.2.3, “Manual track division”).
However, if recording through a digital connection, the track
number will be incremented only when a track division sig-
nal is received, followed by a rise in volume.
A fall and subsequent rise in volume alone when recording
digitally from CD, MD or DAT is not sufficient to trigger an
