8EDITING FUNCTIONS
(1)Editing Functions
There are nine editing functions possible on MDs, as described below. Here we describe these functions briefly.
qCue erase function (erasing cue signals)
Cue signals (external control signals) recorded on the disc can be erased without affecting the tracks.
wTrack erase function (for erasing specific tracks)

Disc names or track names can be stored on recorded discs. The disc names and track names can be called out on the display using the display function.
oUndo functions (for undoing the editing)
Even after editing is completed, the editing can be undone as long as the UTOC has not yet been written.
There are three types of undo functions:
1)UNDO: For undoing the last editing operation.
2)REDO: For resetting the editing undone with the undo function.
3)FIRST: For undoing all the editing operations.
When three editing operations have been performed:
