tape length and track length. When a CD is inserted, the unit
automatically calculates the total track length. If necessary, the
order of tracks is rearranged so that no track is cut short.
(Al: Artificial Intelligence)
Al edit recording will not start from a point halfway into the tape.
The tape must be recorded from the beginning of either side.

the specified recording time printed on the label. This unit can
program tracks to use the extra time. When the total recording
time is a little longer than the tape’s specified recording time
after editing, the display shows the extra time (without a minus
mark), instead of the time remaining on the tape (with the minus
mark).
Recording is inhibited if the erasure prevention tab on either
side of the tape is broken off.
The edit function cannot be used with discs containing 31 tracks
