MD – Editing

Editing tips

Before you start editing

You can edit an MD only when:

•The MD is recordable.

•The MD play mode is Normal Play. Check the following, before editing.

1 Check the tab of the MD to be edited.

Slide the tab to close the slot.

If the MD is protected, you cannot edit the MD.

2 Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until both “SHUF” and “PGM” disappear.

You can edit the MD only in Normal Play mode. You cannot edit the MD in Shuffle or Program Play mode.

To quit while editing

Press MENU/NO.

After editing

Press Z MD on the MD deck to remove the MD or press ?/1 (power) to turn off the system.

“TOC” starts flashing. The TOC is updated and editing is completed.

Before pulling out the mains lead

MD editing is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to turn off the system. Do not pull out the mains lead before updating the TOC or while updating the TOC (while “TOC” lights up or flashes) to ensure a complete editing.

Notes

•You cannot edit the MD during MD-TAPE Synchro Recording.

•If you edit an MD while manually recording the MD to a tape, the sound (rehearsal sound, etc.) produced during the editing is recorded on the tape.

Registering tracks in groups

— Group Function

What is the Group Function?

The Group Function allows you to play, record and edit the tracks on an MD in groups. For example, you can register tracks 1 to 5 on an MD to the “Rock” group, and tracks 6 to 9 to the “Pops” group. Then you can listen to the tracks in only the desired group, add new tracks to a group, and perform other operations. In addition, the Group Function can be easily turned on and off simply by pressing MD GROUP.
