Automark when rec level is low?

In the manual of my MZ-NH700 I found the following:

> When you record with analog (line) input,unnecessary track marks may

be recorded where recording level is low.

I actually find this quite useful. When I make recordings from the Radio, which last several hours, a mark or two at long pauses is fine for me! However, I haven't found more details about this "feature?" in the mmanual. Can one switch this off? At which audio threshold is such a trackmark set? How long has the pause to be, to trigger the automark? With Sony decks, there's the auto t-mark feature, the thrashhold of which can be set and the minimum pause always has to be 1.5 seconds. Is this seemingly hardly documented thing, about which my 700 manual talks a kind of equivalent to this MD deck feature?

Thanks

This happens to me too on my RH10. It's actually pretty annoying. I don't want my disc cluttered with tracks upon tracks, I only want one or two with everything on em. I'd really like the RH10 alot more if it only started tracks when I told it too, and not start a new track every time I pause. I mean, I'm pausing, not stopping...

This is what I don't like about modern technology; everything is overly easy and overly convenient that it starts to get annoying and does things you don't want it to.

tip of the day:

just ignore trackmarks!

I mean, ok we do not want them, but they can not be avoided when going line in (there was a rumour about setting autotracks to 60min so it would override the silence-triggered thing, but it was bogus)... but they do not hurt anything as long as you use dex's brilliant tip for uploading over-trackmarked stuff so, as with so much of Sony stuff: learn to live with it I'm afraid

this said: Sony, we're not babies... let US decide when we want marks (eventhough the pause=mark seems pretty logical to me... sorry daikentana)
