The deck can be set to automatically erase any blanks that

are produced when the signal is interrupted during

recording. The function that activates (Smart Space or

Auto Cut) depends on the length of the interruption, as

described below.

Smart Space

If the signal is interrupted for less than 30 seconds, Smart

Space replaces the blank portion with a blank space of

about three seconds, then continues the recording. “Smart

Space” appears in the display during this time.

Auto Cut

If the signal is interrupted for about 30 seconds, Auto Cut

replaces the blank portion with a blank space of about

three seconds, then pauses the recording. “Auto Cut”

appears in the display during this time.

Do the procedure below to turn Smart Space and Auto Cut

on or off.

Notes

•

If you start recording with no signal input, Smart Space and

Auto Cut will not operate regardless of the setting.

•

Smart Space does not affect the order of the track numbers

being recorded, even if the blank space occurs in the middle of

a track.

•

Auto Cut is automatically turned on or off in tandem with

Smart Space.

•

If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the

deck will store the last setting (“S.Space On” or “S.Space

Off”) and recall it the next time you turn on the deck.

•

If the deck continues recording pause for about 10 minutes

after the Auto Cut activated, recording stops automatically.

Marking track numbers

(Track

Marking)

You can mark track numbers either manually or

automatically while recording. By marking track numbers

at specific points, you can quickly locate the points later

or edit the MD easily.

While recording, press REC

want to add a track number.

When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected

to a DIGITAL IN connector, the deck marks track

numbers in the same sequence as the source. When

recording from other sources connected to the DIGITAL

IN connector or a source connected to the ANALOG IN

jacks, do the procedure below to mark track numbers

automatically. However, you cannot mark track numbers

automatically if the sound source to be recorded is noisy

(e.g., tapes or radio programs).
