Erasing Tracks

You can erase a track or part of a track simply by
specifying the number of the track or the portion within a
track to be erased. You can also erase all the tracks on an
MD at one time.
Erasing a track
Specify the number of the track you want to erase.
Example: Erasing the second track
AAA BBB
1 2 3
AAA CCC
1 2
When you erase a track, all the tracks after the one erased
are automatically renumbered. For example, if you erase
track number 2, the previous track number 3 becomes
track number 2 and the previous track number 4 becomes
track number 3, and so on.
