Chapter 4 Advanced Operation
Custom Edit
Custom edit is a useful function for editing selections on a disc on your tape. The
following types of custom edit are available with the player.
Editing Desired Selections in a Desired Order
Program play
Program play is a basic type of custom edit that allows you
to edit up to 24 selections as you want. It also allows you
to edit selections on side A separately from those on side
B and check the total playing time during editing.
* Pause program
Allows you to program a pause and edit selections on
side A separately from those on side B (see page 24).
* Program edit
Allows you to check the total playing time during editing
by pressing ké<4 PI AMS and PROGRAM (page 24).
Multi-disc program
Multi-disc program allows you to edit up to 24 desired
selections on up to six discs in the program mode. If you
choose desired selections on the first disc and then open
the disc tray, the player will enter the multi-disc program
mode (page 26).
Editing Selections Automatically According to
the Length of Your Tape
Editing navigation
After each step, you can see the proper operation guide of
what you should do next.
Time edit
Time edit automatically edits selections on sides A and B
according to the length of one side of your tape, thus
improving an editing efficiency. It also edits programmed
selections in preference to the others.
It automatically edits selections without changing their
original order on your disc (page 28).
Just edit
Just edit is an improvement of time edit. Like time edit, it
edits programmed selections in preference to the others.
Unlike time edit, however, it automatically edits selections
according to the length of one side of your tape by
changing their original order on your disc (page 28).
Link edit
When either one side of your tape is not fully occupied by
selections edited by time edit or just edit, "LINK" will blink
together with the selection numbers in the music calendar
for those selections fitting the remaining tape length. Link
edit links the fitting selections to edited ones whether the
former is on the current disc or a new disc (page 29).
Fade-out at Desired Time - Time Fade
Time fade automatically causes selections to fade out at
specified time. This function is useful for replacing multiple
discs or editing multiple 8-cm (3-inch) CDs because the
player will retain the remaining playing time when it is
stopped or the disc tray is opened during play.
Time fade is available in the continuous play, program play,
shuffle play, and repeat play modes. It operates twice for
both sides (see page 30).
Inserting a Blank Space Between Selections
- Auto Space
Auto space automatically creates a 3-second blank space
between selections during play to arrange them at an equal
interval (page 31).
Locating Highest-level Portion of Disc
- Peak Search
When editing selections on your tape, you need to adjust a
recording level. An excessively high recording level results
in distorted sound while an excessively low recording level
causes great noise.
Peak search repeatedly plays the highest-level portion of
selections on your disc or programmed selections for four
seconds. As such, peak search allows you to optimize a
recording level (page 31).
