Once you record, edit, or set parameters for imported BR-864 song data, that particular song data can no longer be used by the BR-864.

To protect against accidental recording or editing, song protect (p. 79) is automatically switched on for imported BR- 864 song data.

If you can accept the fact that you will no longer be able to use the song data with the BR-864, you can switch song protect off, then carry out recording or editing.
