5Repeat step 4 until you’ve located point A.
6Press AMS or YES to enter point A.
“Point B set” appears and several seconds of the track from point A play back repeatedly.
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.
8Repeat step 4 until you’ve 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.
zYou can undo the erasure
For details, see “Undoing the Last Edit” on page 39.
Note
In the following cases, “Impossible” appears and you can’t erase a portion of a track:
•The point B you entered comes before point A.
•After repeated editing of a track, it may become impossible to erase a portion of the track any further. This is a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
Dividing Tracks
You can divide a recorded track at any point simply by adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful when you want to divide recorded material which contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see page 20), or when you want to locate a certain point in the track.
Example: Dividing the second track
1 | AAA |
| 2 | BBB |
|
|
|
| 3 | CCC |
| |
|
|
|
| B1 |
|
| B2 |

When you divide a track, the total number of tracks increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are automatically renumbered.
Dividing a track after selecting the track
1While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO.
“Edit Menu” appears in the display.
2Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “Divide ?” appears, then press AMS or YES.
3Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the track you want to divide appears, then press AMS or YES.
“-Rehearsal-” appears and the track starts to play.
4While monitoring the sound, turn AMS (or press
./> repeatedly) to locate the dividing point.
The time indication (“m,” “s ,” and “f ”) 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.
