Additional information on Automatic Track Marking
When recording from a CD player or MD recorder
connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire
material may be recorded as a single track in the
following cases:
- When you consecutively record the same track two or
more times using single-track repeat play.
- When you consecutively record two or more tracks
with the same track number but from different CDs or
MDs.
- When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc
players.
In either case, divide tracks after recording (page 45).
If the source is an MD, a track number may not be
marked for tracks less than 4 seconds long (during
stereo, LP2 stereo, or monaural recording) or less than 8
seconds (during LP4 stereo recording).
