Automatic Track Division
A.TRACK (–60, –50, –40 or –30 dB)
When recording digitally, the unit will automatically insert a
track division in the recorded material when an increment
signal is detected.
When the digital source doesn’t contain increment signals, or
when recording analogically, the unit will automatically insert
a track division in the recorded material when sound level has
dropped below the increment level (–60, –50, –40 or –30dB)
for more than 3 seconds and then sound has re-started.
You can add track numbers by pressing the RECORD button
during recording.
The increment level is also used to trigger analog synchronous
recording (see next page).
“–30dB” takes a louder signal to trigger the start of the
analog synchronous recording or a track division. “–60dB”
means that a relatively quiet signal will trigger the start of the
analog synchronous recording or a track division. “–60dB” is
suitable for recording a noiseless source such as a CD.
MANUAL
The unit doesn’t divide tracks.
Use the RECORD button to divide tracks.
MANUAL is recommended for recording an analog source
such as a record.
<
AUTO TRACK may not work properly with analog sources
that contain low-level noises.
