Recording-related keys DM-9090 (En) AUTO/MANUAL key This key is used to select whether track numbers are to be marked automatically during recording or they are to be marked manually during or after recording. The track numbers can be used to locate the beginning of a track during playback or programming tracks. Select before starting recording. AUTO/ MANUAL 23 AUTO If a no-sound input has lasted for 2 seconds during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by "1". When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by "1" after such a section. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music. During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by "1" according to the data contained in the digital information. When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented. A nosound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.
