<Notes for the erase function>

•When all eight tracks (1 through 8) are recorded, if you erase a part of the chosen track, only the erased part becomes silent (no audio) and the following material does not move advance to fill the gap.

Therefore, the REC END point remains the same. However, if you erase a part between the chosen point (=Start point) and the REC END point (=End point) of all tracks, the REC END point moves advance.

•The erase operations are performed on the current program. Therefore, do not change the current pro gram until all the operations are completed.
