Dividing tracks 
(DIVIDE)
You can divide a recorded track at any point by adding a 
track mark at that point. This is especially useful when 
you want to divide recorded material that contains 
multiple tracks but only one track number, or when you 
want to be able to locate a certain point in the track.
Example:  Dividing the second track
When you divide a track, the total number of tracks 
increases by one and all tracks following the divided track 
are automatically renumbered.

 repeatedly) to locate the dividing point.
You can shift the starting point by 1-frame* intervals 
(1 frame = 1/86 second).
The time indication (minute, second, and frame) of the 
current point is displayed and the deck plays several 
seconds of the track to that point repeatedly.
*
When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift 
the 
starting point by 2-frame intervals (
in Monaural 
mode and 
LP2 Stereo mode) or by 4-frame intervals 
(in LP4 Stereo mode).
To find a point quickly
Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the 
MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press 
./

To do this, press 
m/M in step 4 repeatedly to select 
minutes, second, or frame. The selected unit flashes in 
the display.

Repeat step 4 until you have located the dividing 
point.
