Inserting A Sound-Muted Section While Recording (Record Muting); Recording Using A Timer (Timer Recording) - Sony DTC-ZE700 Operating Instructions Manual

Recording Operations
Inserting a Sound-Muted
Section While Recording
(Record Muting)
Use Record Muting to insert a space of about 4 seconds
between tracks. This is recommended if you plan to
copy the DAT tape to an analog audio cassette tape
since the spaces will allow you to use automatic search
functions to locate the beginning of each track.
When you start recording from the beginning of a
blank tape and want to insert a space before the first
track, be sure to create a sound-muted section using
Record Muting only. Do not advance the tape with the
) or · button since this will create a blank section
on the tape (see page 9).
