• When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT set to
DIGITAL and the source connected through DIGITAL IN:
The recorder automatically marks track numbers in the
same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is
repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat
play) or two or more tracks with the same track number
(e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or
tracks are recorded as a single, continuous track with a
single track number.
If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked
for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
