Erasing a portion of a track

You can easily erase a portion of a track by specifying the starting and ending points of the erasure.

This is useful for erasing the unnecessary portions of a track recorded from a satellite or FM broadcast.

Example: Erasing portion “B2” of the second track

1

AAA

 

2

BBB

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

CCC

1While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO.

“Edit Menu” appears in the display.

2Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “A-B

Erase ?” appears, then press AMS or YES.

3Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the track containing the portion to be erased appears, then press AMS or YES.

“-Rehearsal-” and “Point A ok?” alternate in the display and the deck repeatedly plays several seconds of the track from the point AMS or YES was pressed.

4While monitoring the sound, turn AMS (or press

./> repeatedly) to locate the starting point of the portion to be erased (point A).

You can shift the starting point by 1-frame* intervals (1 frame = 1/86 second).

The time indication (minute, second, and “f ” (frame)) of the current point is displayed and the deck plays several seconds of the track to that point repeatedly.

*When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift the starting point by 2-frame intervals (in Monaural mode and LP2 Stereo mode) or by 4-frame intervals (in LP4 Stereo mode).

To find a point quickly

Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press ./

>repeatedly).

To do this, press m/Min step 4 repeatedly to select minute, second, or “f” (frame). The selected unit flashes in the display.

5Repeat step 4 until you have located point A.

6Press AMS or YES to enter point A.

“Point B set” appears and the deck starts playing from point A until the track ends.

7Continue playing the track or press M to locate the ending point of the portion to be erased (point B), then press AMS or YES.

“A-B Ers” and “Point B ok?” alternate in the display and a few seconds of the track before point A and after point B play back repeatedly.

8Repeat step 4 until you have located point B.

9Press AMS or YES to enter point B.

“Complete!!” appears for a few seconds and the portion between point A and B is erased.

To cancel the operation

Press MENU/NO or x.

Note

If “Impossible” appears in the display, you cannot erase a portion of a track. This happens when you have edited the same track many times.

This is due to a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
