Editing Recorded MDs

Dividing a Track

(DIVIDE Function)

A recorded track can be divided into two tracks and a track number can be assigned to the second track. This function is designed for use when a single track contains several musical pieces (for example with an analog-recorded MD), or when you want to mark a point for use in track location.

(Example): To divide C and D contained in track number 3 into two tracks

1.During playback, press the [πREADY] button at the point where you want to divide the current track into two.

2.Press the [EDIT/NO] button repeatedly until "DIVIDE ?" is displayed.

3.Press the [YES] button.

"Rehearsal" and "Point OK ?" are displayed alternately while the first 4 seconds of the portion which becomes

the second track after division are played repeatedly.

4.If the original track is not divided as precisely as desired, you can fine-adjust the division point by turning the

[µTRACK] dial while monitoring the sound.

The division point can be adjusted within an offset range of –88 ~ +127

(±1 corresponds to approx. 0.06 sec.).

Press the [ªSTOP] button or [EDIT/NO] button to abort the operation.

5.When the track is divided at the desired point, press the [YES] button again.

The track numbers of the new track (second track after division) and subsequent tracks are increased by one but these new numbers are still continuous.

"COMPLETE" is displayed and the track is divided. The deck will start to play the new track obtained after division.

Tracks obtained after division do not have track titles, regardless of whether the original track had one or not.

The beginnings of tracks cannot be divided.

Combining Tracks

(COMBINE Function)

Two consecutive tracks can be combined into a single track. This function is designed for use when you want to play several songs continuously or you want to make a single track from many separately recorded parts of music.

(Example): Combining B and C

1. Select a track number by turning the [µTRACK] dial.

The selected track number will be combined with the track before it.

For example, to combine track numbers 2 and 3, select track number 3 in this step.

If you select track 1, it will not be

combined into a single track.

2.Press the [EDIT/NO] button until "COMBINE ?" is displayed.

3.Press the [YES] button.

"Rehearsal" is displayed. The beginning of the selected track is played back repeatedly.

If the combination point between the two tracks is not played properly, press the [EDIT/NO] button to stop playback and restart the operation from the beginning.

Press the [ªSTOP] button to abort the operation.

4.If the combination point is correct, press the [YES] button again.

"COMPLETE" is displayed for a few seconds and the tracks are combined.

When both tracks have titles assigned, the title of the track before the selected track is assigned to the combined track. Subsequent track numbers are decreased by one.

Moving a Track (MOVE Function)

The order of tracks can be changed by moving a track to another position. After the track has been moved, track numbers are automatically renumbered.

(Example): To move D from track number 4 to track number 2

1.During playback, select the track to be moved by turning the [µTRACK] dial.

2.Press the [EDIT/NO] button until "MOVE ?" is displayed.

3.Press the [YES] button.

"Move to 001?" is displayed. ("001" blinks.)

4. Select the destination track number with the [µTRACK] dial.

"Move to 002 ?" is displayed. ("002" blinks.)

When you specify the destination track number with the numeric buttons, "COMPLETE" is displayed, then the track is moved and the track numbers are automatically changed. Playback resumes from the track’s new location.

Press the [ªSTOP] button or [EDIT/NO] button to abort the operation.

5. Press the [YES] button again.

"COMPLETE" is displayed, then the track is moved and the track numbers are automatically changed. Playback resumes from the track’s new location.
