MD Edit Functions

Dividing a track (DIVIDE)

The following procedure shows how to divide a track by assigning a track number in the desired position in the track. For example, by inserting an additional track number before the passage you are specially fond of, it is easy to skip to there when you play the disc later. After the track number has been divided, the track numbers after it will be adjusted automatically.

Before starting MD editing, be sure to cancel the program mode by pressing the PGM key in stop mode.
