If you do not select any tracks, the data will be pasted
back to the copy or move source track.
6. Turn the JOG dial to enter the number of repeats (Repeat=**).
You can enter up to 99. However, this is automatically
limited by the available recording space on the disk.
That is, if the disk has enough free space, you can set up
to 99 repeats. If the disk has only a small amount of free
space, the JOG dial allows you to set a lower number of
repeats.
