Auto Trk
With Auto Trk (Automatic Track incrementing) On,
new track is begun automatically at specified intervals
of recording time.
Automatic Tracks are silent. Playback across an
Automatic Track does not produce any sound.
Automatic Track can be set to increment every 1, 5, 10,
15, or 30 minutes or every 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
Minute track
Automatic Tracks make finding a particular point in a
recording easier. For example if a new track is begun
every minute. During playback the Minute Tracks
make finding a particular passage easier because of the
relationship between track numbers and time. During
playback you can select track 3 to play approximately
the 3rd minute of recording. To go directly to the
beginning of the 10th minute select track 10, etc.
