Notes on Editing

You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using
the following functions:
• Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks
simply by specifying the corresponding track
number.
• Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at
specified points so that you can quickly locate those
points afterwards, using the AMS function.
• Combine Function allows you to combine two
consecutive tracks into one.
• Move Function allows you to change the order of
tracks by moving a specific track to a track position
you want.
• Title Function allows you to create titles for your
recorded MDs and tracks.
If "Protected" appears in the display
The deck could not edit because the record-protect slot on
the MD is open. Edit after closing the slot.
When "TOC" flashes in the display
Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. After
editing, "TOC" lights continuously until you eject the MD or
turn off the power. "TOC" flashes while the deck is
updating the TOC. When the deck finishes updating the
TOC, "TOC" goes off.

Erasing a single track
You can erase a track simply by specifying the
respective track number. When you erase a track, the
total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and
all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.
Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need
to record over material.
z
To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks, you
should proceed in order of high to low track number to
prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not been
erased yet.

afterwards.
