Editing Recorded MDs
Combining Recorded Tracks (Combine Function)
Use the Combine Function while the recorder is stopped, playing or in pause to combine consecutive tracks on a recorded MD. This function is useful for combining several songs into a single medley, or several independently recorded portions into a single track. When you combine two tracks, the total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the combined tracks are renumbered.
Example: Combining B and C

1While the recorder is stopped or during playback pause, press EDIT/NO to display “Edit Menu.”
2Turn AMS until “Combine?” appears in the display, then press AMS.
3Turn AMS until the number of the former track of the two to be combined appears in the display, then press AMS.
“Rehearsal“ alternates with “Track ok?“ in the display. The place where the two tracks will join (i.e., the end of the former track and the beginning of the latter track) repeatedly plays back and the respective track number flashes in the music calendar.
4If the track is the wrong one, press EDIT/NO or p, then start again from Step 1.
5If the place is correct, press AMS or YES.
When the tracks have been combined, “Complete” appears for a few seconds and the total number of tracks in the music calendar decreases by one.
If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the title of the latter track is erased.
To cancel the Combine Function
Press EDIT/NO or p.
You can undo a track combination
Divide the tracks again (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 22), then repeat the combine function with the correct tracks if necessary.
Note
If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks cannot be combined. This sometimes happens when you’ve edited the same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, not a mechanical error.
