About indications which appear after

editing

When “TOC” lights up in the display

Editing has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents) on the MD has not been updated to reflect the editing results. The editing will be lost if you disconnect the AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the MD deck.

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display

The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.

Erasing Tracks

You can erase a track or part of a track simply by specifying the number of the track or the portion within a track to be erased. You can also erase all the tracks on an MD at one time.

Erasing a track

Specify the number of the track you want to erase.

Example: Erasing the second track

1

AAA

 

2

BBB

 

3

CCC

When you erase a track, all the tracks after the one erased are automatically renumbered. For example, if you erase track number 2, the previous track number 3 becomes track number 2 and the previous track number 4 becomes track number 3, and so on.

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

“Edit Menu” appears in the display.

2Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “Tr Erase ?” appears, then press AMS or YES.

The deck starts to play the track indicated by the number in the display.

3Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the track number you want to erase appears.

4Press AMS or YES.

“Complete!!” appears for a few seconds and the track is erased. The track following the erased track starts to play. If the erased track is the last one on the MD, the track preceding the erased track starts to play.

To cancel the operation

Press MENU/NO or x.

zIf “Erase ???” appears in step 4 above

The track has been record-protected on another MD deck. If you still want to erase the track, press AMS or YES again while the indication appears.

zTo avoid confusion when erasing more than one track

Start erasing from the highest numbered track. This way you’ll avoid renumbering the tracks that you plan to erase.

zYou can undo the erasure

For details, see “Undoing the Last Edit” on page 36.
