When track bouncing to a new song completes,
the recorder automatically stops and the dis-
play shows the home screen of the new song.
The song name of the new song is given by the
name of the original song with "-**" (** is a
two-digit number).
You can check the result by following the pro-
cedure described in "Checking the bounced
signals on tracks 7/8" on page 69.

press the [ STOP ] key. Pressing the [ STOP ] key au-
tomatically deletes the new song created in step 2

ing, if there is not enough space on the hard disk
or 99 songs already exist on the disk, a warning
message appears and the operation is canceled.
