Erase - Fostex FD-8 Owner's Manual

There are two methods for erasing data. Understand the difference between these methods before you use the
Erase function.
* If multiple Programs are set on the disk, first select the desired Program. Do not select another Program until
you finish the erase operation.
• Erasing a specified part of the data between ABS 0 and
REC END
You may erase a specified part of the data between ABS 0
and REC END (the end point of the recording) in the currently-
selected Program. (The erased part is replaced with silence.)
You can erase data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks.
To erase data on an additional track, you need to move the
data to a real track, then erase it. As shown below, the REC
END point (the end point of recording) is not affected.
The erased area is replaced with silence. As a result, the
REMAIN time and space will increase. (You will have more
recordable space on the disk.)

Note:
If all real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 1 and 2 will not affect the position of REC END.
On the other hand, if all Real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 3 - 8 will move up REC END to the
end point of tracks 1 and 2.

• Erasing data from a specified point to REC END
You may erase all data in the range from a specified point to
REC END in the currently-selected Program. You can erase
data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks. To erase
data on an additional track, you need to move the data to a
real track, then erase it.
When you erase all tracks' data, the REC END point will move
backward. However, if you erase data on a mono track or
multiple tracks (but not all tracks), the REC END point may
not be affected. (Refer to the note below.) After the erase
operation, the REMAIN time and space will increase.
