By rotating the [JOG] dial while the left ("From") field is flashing, you can select the track number from 01 through 24. The number in the right ("To") field automatically follows the number in the left field (i.e. numbers in the left and right fields are always the same). Therefore, if you want to save a single track, you just have to set the right ("From") field and do not have to set the right ("To") field. For example, "From 02 To 02" will save only track 2.

To specify tracks 5 through 12:

•Enter "05" to the left field while the left field is flashing.

•Press the [CURSOR </>] key to make the right field flashing.

•Enter "12". (Note that the number for the right field must be equal to or larger than the left field.)

Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key shows "Disk Full!", followed by "Delete All WAV?".

Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key again deletes all the WAV file on the disk and advances to the next step (for editing the file name)

After completing the save operation, only this new WAV file will remain on the disk.

•Showing the title and "****MB":

To get enough space for creating a WAV file, the specified file on the backup disk will be deleted.
