Combining Recorded Tracks (Combine Function) - Sony MDS-E52 Operating Instructions Manual

Combining Recorded Tracks
(Combine Function)
Use the Combine Function while the recorder is
stopped, playing or in pause to combine consecutive
tracks on a recorded MD. This function is useful for
combining several songs into a single medley, or
several independently recorded portions into a single
track. When you combine two tracks, the total number
of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the
combined tracks are renumbered.
Example: Combining B and C

While the recorder is stopped or during playback
pause, press EDIT/NO to display "Edit Menu."
2
Turn AMS until "Combine?" appears in the
display, then press AMS.
3
Turn AMS until the number of the former track of
the two to be combined appears in the display,
then press AMS.
"Rehearsal" alternates with "Track ok?" in the
display. The place where the two tracks will join
(i.e., the end of the former track and the beginning
of the latter track) repeatedly plays back and the
respective track number flashes in the music
calendar.
4
If the track is the wrong one, press EDIT/NO or
p, then start again from Step 1.
5
If the place is correct, press AMS or YES.
When the tracks have been combined, "Complete"
appears for a few seconds and the total number of
tracks in the music calendar decreases by one.
If both of the combined tracks have track titles,
the title of the latter track is erased.

Editing Recorded MDs
To cancel the Combine Function
Press EDIT/NO or p.
You can undo a track combination
Divide the tracks again (see "Dividing Recorded
Tracks" on page 22), then repeat the combine function
with the correct tracks if necessary.
Note
If "Impossible" appears in the display, the tracks cannot be
combined. This sometimes happens when you've edited the
same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation
of the MD system, not a mechanical error.
