Designating The Total Playing Time; Making A Program With Editing Functions - Sony CDP-297 Operating Instructions Manual

You can designate a playing time and the unit will make 2 different programs of
selections each fitting within that period.
These programs can contain up to a total of 24 selections.
Use this function, by designating the length of your tape, for editing both sides of a
tape.
There are two types of editing: Time edit and just edit.
Time edit : sets the playing time of the each program within the designated time
automatically, by choosing selections in numerical order which changes
as little as possible
Just edit • sets the playing time of each program exactly (if impossible,
approximately) with the designated time, by choosing selections without
respect to numerical order.
You can also program desired selections by priority. In this case, you can designate
desired selections beforehand and the remaining selections will be programmed to fit
in the remaining time.

Note
• HALF cannot beseton a disc with more than 20selections;
When you select HALF, the playing time of each
program is set to a half of the total playing time of the
disc.
However, programming for time edit and just edit are
performed in different ways.
Time edit : divides all the selections of the disc into
two programs without changing their
order.
Just edit : programs selections by changing their
order so that the length of each program
becomes half the total playing time of the
disc. However the program for side A will
be a little longer than that of side B since
the unit distributes all the selections.
When using the remote commander (only for
CDP-397)
To set the time for one side of the tape as you
want, press the numeric buttons.
Press i_for "0".
You need not press buttons for the seconds, unless
required.
