Combining Two Tracks (Combine) - Sony MDS-DRE1 Operating Instructions Manual

Combining Two Tracks (Combine)

This function allows you to combine any two tracks into a
single track. The two tracks need not be consecutive, or
chronological. You can use this function to combine
several songs into a medley, or several independently
recorded sections into a single track.
When you combine two tracks, the total number of tracks
decreases by one and all tracks following the combined
tracks are renumbered.

This is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, it is not a
mechanical error.
