Erasing part of a track – Divide and Erase

Divide the track at the end or beginning of the portion you wish to erase. If necessary, repeat this operation to separate an unwanted portion.

Then, erase the separated track.

Combining separately positioned tracks – Move and Combine

If the tracks you want to combine are in different loca- tions, move the track to be merged to a position following the other track, then combine them.

Notes on combining tracks

You cannot combine a digital recording track and an analog recording track. (If you try, “Impossible” will appear on the display.)

You cannot combine tracks recorded in different recording modes. You can combine only tracks recorded in the same recording mode. (For exam- ple, a track recorded in MONO mode cannot be combined with a track recorded in LP2 mode.)

Notes

Information about the edited or erased contents is recorded to the TOC of the MD when you eject the MD, turn off the unit, or stop recording. Therefore, do not disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) or vibrate the unit when the TOC indicator is lit or flashing (see page 36).

If the MEM, RDM, 1TR, or 1GR indicator is lit in the display, you cannot edit or erase any tracks. In such cases, cancel the MEMORY, RANDOM, 1TR, and 1GR playback mode (see page 42) before starting the operation.

If you edit an MD that has a group, the group infor- mation may be modified.
