If the “noise floor” is higherthan the threshold, a false start will occur:5−RecordingAutomatic track divisionThe trigger level can also be used to divide tracks if theA_TRACK (auto track) function is enabled.When this function is enabled, the unit automatically in-serts a track division in the recorded material.To enable or disable automatic track division:1 Use A_TRK option in the REC sub-menu to set themode on. The A.TRACK indicator at the top right ofthe display lights.2 Rotate and push the MULTI JOG dial to select andenter the modes following:≠ LevelWhen the sound level has dropped below thethreshold for more than two seconds, and soundhas re-started, the track will be divided.Use A_TRK LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu.The trigger level is set to -24dB to -72 dB.≠ DD (digital direct)When recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, thismode detects a track boundary and divides thetrack.However, when the DD mode is on, and if the analogsource or non-DAT/CD/MD digital connections aredetected, the track number will be increased by thesetting level that you set in the Level mode.A_LVLAt least2 secondsleveltimeTrack incrementS_LVLREC readyleveltimeFive secondsS_LVLRecordsing startsleveltimeT h i s p a r t o fthe track is notrecordedS_LVLStart of track is not registeredleveltimeNoise is higherthan threshold
