“Sure?” flashes.

5.Press the [ENTER/YES] key once again.

The erase process will takes place. “Wait Erasing!” flashes on the display while data is being erased. “Completed!” lights up on the display when the data is successfully erased.

6.Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or [STOP] key).

The LCD returns to the Normal Display prior to the editing mode.

<Remember!>

To erase all data between ABS 0 and REC END, it is recommended that the time after REC END is set as the ERASE end point (AUTO PUNCH OUT point) to ensure that all the data is completely erased. In such case, move the current location of the recorder to the REC END point prior to setting the AUTO PUNCH OUT point and then press the [PLAY] key from that REC END point to move the REC END point slightly forward. Then press STOP. By setting that STOP point (time) to the [AUTO PUNCH OUT] key, it becomes possible to thoroughly erase all data from that section. The hard disk does not access any point after the REC END point, even when PLAY is started. When there is no data on that section, only the time will be counted.

UNDO/REDO Erase

The erase procedure can be undone and redone with the UNDO/REDO feature.

*Data eased can be undone (unerased) by pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key after ERASE. The data will return to the pre-erase status.

*The data erased but undone (unerased) can be redone (re-erased) by pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key immediately after undoing the erase process. The data will return to the post-erase status.

Note the following when executing the UNDO/REDO feature.

<Precautions>

The UNDO/REDO feature is valid only when the recorder is in the STOP state.

UNDO/REDO is no longer possible if the following procedures take place after ERASE.

1.When data is newly recorded.

2.When data is newly edited.

3.When the AUTO PUNCH mode is ON and PLAY (or RECORD) mode is effected, and the point has already passed the AUTO PUNCH IN point.

4.When the power is turned OFF.

5.When program selection takes place.

Track Exchange

“Track Exchange” allows the tracks currently on the program to be interchanged (all real tracks and additional tracks) on mono track or multiple track (2 tracks or 8 tracks each) units.

This function makes it possible to exchange real tracks. A real track can be emptied by moving a real track to a blank additional track. This means that real track can be recorded with other data. All-in-all, track exchange allows effective utilization of the tracks.

As already described in the “Erase” section, the “Track Exchange” feature is necessary to check the REC END point of an additional track.
