EDITING

■What the editing function can do

You can create original discs using the MD editing function, on which you can change the order of the tracks and you can create disc or track names.

●Playback-only MiniDiscs cannot be edited.

DIVIDE

A single track can be divided into two at any desired position.

● The numbers of the tracks which come after the newly divided track will be automatically increased by one.

COMBINE

Two consecutive tracks can be com- bined into one track.

●The numbers assigned to the tracks follow- ing the combined tracks will be decreased by

one automatically.

ERASE/ALL ERASE

Tracks you want to erase can be erased one at a time or all at once.

●Once a track has been erased, it cannot be recovered. Double-check the track number

before erasing it.

TRACK/DISC NAME

●Capital letters, numbers and symbols can be used.

Number of characters you can enter

●Disc names and track names

Up to 40 characters (including spaces) can be entered for each name.

●Total number of characters per MiniDisc

A total of approximately 1,700 characters can be used for all of the disc and track names. If more than 1,700 characters are entered, " TOC FULL " will appear.

Whilst editing, the "TOC" indicator is displayed.This means the edit results have not been recorded on the MiniDisc.

To record the results, select another input or set the unit to the stand-by mode. During writing, the "TOC" goes out, all editing changes have been re- corded to the disc.

Note:

●Storing the edited contents on the disc can be done after several pieces of editing have been finished.
