Note

When you erase a track mark between the two consecutive tracks that are assigned into different groups, the second track is re-assigned into the group containing the first track. In addition, if you combine a track that is assigned to a group with a track that is not assigned to a group (two consecutive tracks), the second track takes the same group assignment as the first track.

Erasing tracks and a whole disc contents (Erase)

You can erase unnecessary tracks or all tracks on a disc.

Notes

•You cannot erase tracks that have been checked out from your computer. You cannot erase an entire disc if it contains a checked-out track. In this case, check in the track or tracks to the computer.

•When you erase groups, see page 45.
