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 Pro- gram. (The erased part is replaced with silence.)

You can erase data on a mono track and multiple tracks (including Real tracks and Additional tracks).

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 re- cordable 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 track and multiple tracks (including Real tracks and Additional tracks). When you erase all the 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>

The REC END point is the end point for recording on the Real tracks. The Erase function uses the REC END point on the Real tracks, even if the recording end point on an Additional track is located later. If all tracks contain data as shown below, you need to specify the recording end point of the Additional track (or later point) as an erase end point in order to erase the data from the specified point. You need to move the Additional track data to a Real track to find out where the REC END point is.
