MENU/NO button: While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press to edit tracks. While editing, press to cancel editing.

AMS control: Turn to select an editing operation or track number, then press to enter your selection. You can also use the control to specify points in a track for erasure or track division.

YES button: Press this button instead of the AMS control to enter a selection.

m/M buttons: Press to specify the unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when the AMS control is turned. You can also use these buttons to locate the end point of the portion to be erased.
