Notes
• If "Impossible" appears in the display, point B was
specified before point A. Specify point B so that it comes
after point A.
• If "Sorry" appears in the display, a portion of the track
cannot be erased. 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.

Dividing Recorded Tracks
(Divide Function)
With the Divide Function you can assign a track
number at places that you want to randomly access
afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs
recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain
no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into
multiple portions. When you divide a track, the total
number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all
tracks following the divided track are renumbered.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C
