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
			B1	B2			B3
						CCC
1	AAA	2	BBB		3
			B1	B3

“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 plays the first several seconds of the track repeatedly.

4While monitoring the sound, turn AMS (or press

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

The time indication (“m (minute),” “s (second),” and “f (frame = 1/86 second)”) of the current point is displayed and several seconds of the track from that point play back repeatedly.

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/M in step 4 repeatedly to select “m,” “s,” or “f.” The selected unit flashes in the display.
