[. . . ] 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. During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by "1" according to the data contained in the digital information. When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented. A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.
