Chapter 5: Editing Recorded MDs

Erasing Recordings
(erase function)
You can erase the recorded sound easily.
Since erasing updates the TOC, you do not
have to record over previous material. You
can choose from the following three erase
methods:
• Erasing a single track
• Erasing all tracks
• Erasing parts of a track
When erasing two or more tracks
When you erase a track, all tracks following
the erased one are renumbered. For
example, if you erase track 1, the original
track 2 will be renumbered as track 1.
To avoid confusion, you should erase
starting from high track numbers and
proceeding to low track numbers. This
prevents renumbering of tracks that have
not yet been erased.
Erasing a single track
You can erase a track simply by specifying
its track number. When you erase the
track, the total number of tracks on the MD
decreases by one and all tracks following
the erased one are renumbered.
