Skipping Unwanted Tracks

After recording a CD-Rdisc, you may decide that one or more of the tracks are unwanted. This may be due to a simple mistake or because a track didn't record successfully. Although you can't erase those tracks, you can set what are called 'skip IDs'. These tell a CD player (though not all recognize skip IDs) not to play a particular track, but to skip to the next one on the disc.

You can also set skip IDs on CD–RWs, although it's probably a less useful feature since erasing the last track is possible should you make a mistake in recording.

If you make a mistake when setting a skip ID, you can clear it, but be careful: you can set up to 21 skip IDs per disc, but repeatedly setting and clearing skip IDs in different recording sessions will reduce this number.

Press SKIP ID SET during playback (or while in play-pause mode) of the track you want to skip.

❖If there's no room left on the disc to record another skip ID, the display will show the message FULL.

The display prompts you to confirm.

Press SKIP ID SET again to confirm. To cancel, press either SKIP ID CLEAR or 3 (play).

❖Use the 4 and ¢ (track skip) buttons/jog dial to skip to other tracks that don't have skip IDs set. When you press SKIP ID SET, it will be for the track that is currently playing.

4 When you're finished, stop the disc and press OPEN/CLOSE 0.

Until you eject the disc, the recorder stores the skip ID information in its memory. On pressing OPEN/CLOSE 0, the recorder writes the skip ID information onto the disc.
