5 Press PUSH ENTER or YES again if point A is correct.

“Point B set” appears in the display and playback for setting the ending point of the portion to be erased (point B) starts.

If point A is not correct, adjust point A by turning AMS (or by pressing ./> repeatedly) while monitoring the sound , and then press PUSH ENTER or YES when you locate the desired starting point. You can shift the point by 1-frame2)intervals

(1 frame = 1/86 second).

6 Continue playing the track or press M to locate the ending point of the portion to be erased (point B), then press PUSH ENTER 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.

7 Press PUSH ENTER or YES again if point B is correct.

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

If point B is not correct, adjust point B by turning AMS (or by pressing ./> repeatedly) while monitoring the sound, and then press PUSH ENTER or YES when you locate the desired ending point. You can shift the point by 1-frame2)intervals

(1 frame = 1/86 second).

2)You can shift the point by 2-frame intervals on the track recorded in Monaural mode or LP2 Stereo mode, and by 4-frame intervals on the track recorded in LP4 Stereo mode.

Tip

In step 5 and 7, if you want to shift point A or point B by a certain number of seconds or minutes, press m/Mrepeatedly. You can change the unit by which the counter advances when you turn AMS (or press ./>repeatedly).

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.
