VR800 Owner’s Manual (Editing Tracks)

Erase

There are two methods for erasing data. Understand the difference between these methods before you use the Erase function.

*If multiple Programs are set on the disk, first select the desired Program. Do not select another Program until you finish the erase operation.

•Erasing a specified part of the data between ABS 0 and

REC END

You may erase a specified part of the data between ABS 0 and REC END (the end point of the recording) in the currently- selected Program. (The erased part is replaced with silence.) You can erase data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks. To erase data on an additional track, you need to move the data to a real track, then erase it. As shown below, the REC END point (the end point of recording) is not affected.

The erased area is replaced with silence. As a result, the REMAIN time and space will increase. (You will have more recordable space on the disk.)

• Erasing data from a specified point to REC END

You may erase all data in the range from a specified point to REC END in the currently-selected Program. You can erase data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks. To erase data on an additional track, you need to move the data to a real track, then erase it.

When you erase all tracks’ data, the REC END point will move backward. However, if you erase data on a mono track or multiple tracks (but not all tracks), the REC END point may not be affected. (Refer to the note below.) After the erase operation, the REMAIN time and space will increase.

Note: If all real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 1 and 2 will not affect the position of REC END. On the other hand, if all Real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 3 - 8 will move up REC END to the end point of tracks 1 and 2.
