d.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to specify the V-Track for the destination. For example, “1-1” indicates “Track 1, V-Track 1,” and “9L-1” indicates “Track 9, V-Track 1.”

*Do not designate V-Tracks that have already been specified as exchange destinations for other tracks.

7.Press [F4 (Exec)]. This executes Track Exchange.

You cannot mix on one V track regularly recorded audio with audio that has been recorded with the CDR Recording Mode ON.

In Songs that use a Recording Mode other than “CDR” follow these rules:

•	“On” cannot be exchanged to other V-tracks which are
	not on the mastering tracks.
•	Even on the mastering tracks, “CDR” V-tracks can only
	be exchanged with V-tracks which already have been
	recorded with “CDR” data, or with new V-tracks which
	have no data recorded on them.
	If the above rules are not followed, then “Found Illegal
	Track Pair!” appears in the display and track move
	cannot be executed. Please press [ENTER/YES] and
	select the copy destination again.
8.	When the exchange is completed correctly, “Complete”
	appears in the display.
9.	Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
