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 
while recording 
(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 
z
 at the point where you 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).
