detects each track automatically and numbers each track. When the  
music starts, the A. TRK starts recording and when the music stops, the  
A. TRK detects silence and the player pauses. When OFF is selected, no  
track is detected and recording doesn't stop if the player is in silent state.  
When silent state continues for 3 seconds or more in LINE-IN mode, the  
A. TRK judges this state as a turn of the track and the track is divided. The  
track, therefore, is not divided in this mode if the interval of two tracks is  
too short, or noise continuously occurs in the interval. In addition, if a track  
has very low sound or silent part, the track is divided.  
In such cases, select OFF for A. TRK from “RECORD SET” in the SET  
mode and record each track manually.
