Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by "1" after such a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music. At the time of digital recording, the track number automatically is incremented by one on the basis of the information of the digital signal. There is no detection of unrecorded parts. A track without sound can be produced by stopping the CD on the playback side. L R MANUAL The signal is recorded without automatic incrementation of track numbers. A track number can be assigned during recording (press the EDIT key) or after recording (operate the TRACK DIVIDE functionfl).
