Handling Programs

Deleting a Program

This section explains how to delete an unnecessary Program.

Deleting an unnecessary Program will expand the recordable area, making your work flow more smoothly, since recording or editing requires sufficient recordable area (free space on the disk). Use the [Del. PGM ?] menu in SETUP mode to delete a Program.

<Notes on deleting a Program>

•You can delete only the currently-selected Program. Refer to the previous section, “Using a Program Change function,” for

information on how to select the desired Program before you proceed to delete the Program.

•If only one Program exists and you try to delete it, data contained in the Program will be deleted, but the Program itself will remain. For example, assume that PGM 01 -07 exist and you try to delete PGM 05. Program number 05 will remain, but the data inside PGM 05 will be replaced with the data of PGM 06.

The subsequent Programs’ data will move in the same way. Therefore, it will appear that PGM 07 has been deleted.

If you delete the last Program (PGM 07 in this example), PGM 07 will be completely deleted.

PGM 01 PGM 02 PGM 03 PGM 04 PGM 05 PGM 06 PGM 07

	If you try to deleted PGM 05, only the
	data of PGM 05 will be deleted and
After deleted	the data of PGM 06 will move into
	PGM 05.

When the FD-8 displays [Deleting...] and finishes deleting the Program, the data of the next Program number moves in, and its ABS time appears.
