•If the display shows “TRACK PROTECTED”, one or more of the tracks in the MD has been protected against accidental erasure by another component. You cannot edit such a protected track. To cancel the editing, press EDIT on the main unit or on the remote control unit.
3Press ENTER on the main unit or on the remote control unit.
The change made above is entered temporarily in memory. The display shows “EDITING” and the TOC indicator lights up.
4Press 0 on the main unit or on the cover panel of the remote control unit to eject the MD.
The data in memory is written in the MD before it is ejected. The display shows “UTOCwriting” during MD writing operation.
•Be careful not to apply impact to the MD recorder during writing temporarily stored data into the MD. Otherwise the recording may not be able to play later.
•The data in memory is written in the MD also when the power is turned off while “EDITING” is being displayed.
To cancel editing:
Press EDIT repeatedly on the main unit or on the remote control unit before pressing ENTER in step 3.
Caution
•Once erased, the tracks can never be restored. An MD containing recording that you do not want to erase should be protected by sliding the protect tab (see page 14).
