Dividing recorded tracks (continued)

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

“Complete!” appears and the deck starts to play the newly created track. Note that new track has no name. If the dividing point is not correct, adjust the point by turning AMS (or press ./>repeatedly) while monitoring the sound, and then press PUSH ENTER or YES when you locate the desired dividing point. You can shift the point by 1- frame1) intervals (1 frame = 1/86 second).

1)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, if you want to shift the dividing point by a certain number of seconds or minutes, press m/M repeatedly. You can change the unit by which the counter advances when you turn AMS (or press

./>repeatedly).

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

“Edit Menu” appears in the display.

2 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “Combine?” appears, then press PUSH ENTER or YES.

3 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the first track of the two tracks to be combined appears, then press PUSH ENTER or YES.

The display for selecting a second track appears and the deck plays the portion where joining will occur (the end of the first track and the beginning of the second track following it) repeatedly.

4 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the second track of the two tracks to be combined appears, then press PUSH ENTER or YES.

“Complete!” appears and the deck starts to play the combined track.

Notes

Tracks recorded in different modes (stereo, MONO, LP2 or LP4) cannot be combined.

If both of the combined tracks have a track name, the name of the second track is erased.

If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks cannot be combined because repeated editing has been done to the track(s). This is a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
