Erasing Recordings (erase function)

You can erase the recorded sound easily. Since erasing updates the TOC, you do not have to record over previous material. You can choose from the following three erase methods:

•Erasing a single track

•Erasing all tracks

•Erasing parts of a track

When erasing two or more tracks

When you erase a track, all tracks following the erased one are renumbered. For example, if you erase track 1, the original track 2 will be renumbered as track 1.

To avoid confusion, you should erase starting from high track numbers and proceeding to low track numbers. This prevents renumbering of tracks that have not yet been erased.

Erasing a single track

You can erase a track simply by specifying its track number. When you erase the track, the total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.

Example: Erasing B
Track	1	2	3		4
number
	A	B		C	D
	1	2	B is erased.
					3
Erasing	A		C		D
