Combining Recorded Tracks (COMBINE Function)

Use the Combine Function to combine tracks on a recorded MD. The two tracks to be combined need not to be consecutive and the latter track to be combined can be the track which comes before the former one in the track number order. This function is useful for combining several songs into a single medley, or several independently recorded portions into a single track. When you combine two tracks, the total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the combined tracks are renumbered.

Example: Combining B and D
Track	1	2	3	4
number	A	B	C	D
Combining		B and D are combined
		into one track
				3
	1	2
	A	B	C	D

1While the deck is stopped, playing, or pausing, press EDIT/NO to display “Edit Menu”.

2Turn AMS until “Combine ?” appears in the display.

3Press AMS or YES.

4Turn AMS to select the first track of the two to be combined and press AMS or YES.

The display for selecting the second track appears and the deck repeats the portion where the two tracks will join (i.e., the end of the first track and the beginning of the succeeding track).

5Turn AMS to select the second track of the two to be combined and press AMS or YES. “Complete!!” appears for a few seconds and the total number of tracks in the music calendar decreases by one.

If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the title of the second track is erased.

To cancel the Combine Function

Press EDIT/NO or p.

zYou can undo the Combine Function

Use the Undo Function immediately after you combined the tracks (see page 36).

Note

If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks cannot be combined. This sometimes happens when you’ve edited the same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, not a mechanical error.
