Evil Jim followed up,

|       New observation: When there is silence, the MD will actually pause
| between getting tracks.  It will not actually make a track mark, however.
| So, if I record 10 seconds of digital silence, I can not hear that silence
| later as the MD paused itself.

Then Synchro is working, at least.

|       Even if I pause the music for 20-30 seconds, then resume, it stays
| on the same track.

Well, you're getting digital silence there, not losing digital lock.  When
you pull out the cable and reinsert it, you do get a new track.

|       Even if I stop the digital output, so the MD player reads "No
| signal", then start it back up, the MD player stays on the same track.
| This is _not_ right.  Is there something wrong with my MD player?

Depending on the source, stopping play may or may not interrupt the digital
output: it might just send out the digital representation of silence instead,
which, as you've seen, doesn't get you into a new track.

I'm not sure how to read the last question: there is no problem with your
*unit*, but you could see the situation as a problem with your *model*, be-
cause that's how the F70 behaves.  I've found the same thing with mine.

But here's a thought: if you press FF (which, during recording, serves as the
manual track mark key) during the pause, won't you get a new track?  True,
you have to be there to do it.
