Dividing A Track (Divide) - Sony MDS-DRE1 Bedienungsanleitung

Dividing a Track (Divide)

After recording, you can divide a track in two by marking
a new track number at any point you want to access. This
is especially useful when you record from an analog
source (etc.) and several songs are recorded as a single
track number, or when you want access to a certain point
in the middle of a track. When you divide a track, the total
number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all
tracks following the divided track are renumbered
automatically.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create individual track numbers
for B and C.
