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.
1 While the deck is stopped, press MENU/NO twice.
“Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2 Turn AMS (or press . / > repeatedly) until
“S.Space On” appears, then press AMS or YES.
3 Turn AMS (or press . / > repeatedly) to select
the setting, then press AMS or YES.

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).

“Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2 Turn AMS (or press . / > repeatedly) until
“T.Mark Lsyn” appears, then press AMS or YES.
3 Turn AMS (or press . / > repeatedly) to select
the setting, then press AMS or YES.
