under the following circumstances:
– When the unrecorded space between songs is
less than 4 seconds long.
– If completely different information is recorded
on the left and right channels.
– When there are continuous sections of
extremely low level or low frequency sound
(like those of a baritone sax).
– When the unit is placed near a television. (In
this case, we recommend moving the unit
farther away from the television or turning off
the television.)
