Setting Skip/Unskip Tracks

CD-R/CD-RW
When playing a CD-R/RW disc that you have
recorded, you can skip tracks to which you do not
want to listen.
The skip function is determined by the
CD-R/RW specifications, and can be written on the
disc. Discs that have been set to skip can be played
with skipping by enabling the skip setting on a CD
recorder (CD player) that is skip function compatible.
(You cannot use skip play on CD recorders and CD
players that are not skip function compatible.)
Setting skip and unskip for tracks is only possible on
discs before they are finalized. After finalizing, the disc
setting cannot be changed.

Operations on the Disc's TOC Area

"PMA Write?" will be displayed. Select
whether to record in the PMA area.
If you press the YES button and write to the
PMA area, the setting information will remain
even if the disc is removed from the CD
recorder, and so remains valid even if another
disc is inserted. If not writing to the PMA area,
press the MENU/NO button. The setting
information will not be written to the disc. In
this case, the setting information will be stored
until the disc is removed or the power is turned
OFF.
z
You can play discs without the skip that has been set.
Turn OFF "Skip Play" in the menu. The skip setting will
be ignored, and all recorded tracks will be played.
z
Limits to the number of times you can write skip
information to the PMA area of a disc.
CD-R DISC:
The area to which skip information can be written on a
disc is limited. Consequently, write skip/unskip
information to the PMA area immediately before
removing the disc, and avoid writing the information an
unnecessary number of times. The number of times the
information can be written depends on the number of
tracks set at the time. The skip memory area in which
skip information is set, and the unskip memory area in
which previous skip settings are undone store 21 blocks
each. Each block can store a maximum of 6 tracks. For
example, recording a 7th skip track in one block will
result in a second block being used. The same is true for
the unskip operation. When all 21 blocks for both skip
and unskip have been used, you cannot make additional
settings.
