Editing recorded tracks

Before editing

You can edit your recordings by adding/ erasing track marks or labeling tracks and discs.

Notes

Premastered discs cannot be edited.

Close the record-protect tab on the side of the disc before editing (page 78).

Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while editing or “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” (“SYS WRITE” on the recorder) is flashing in the display. If you do, the data edited up to that point may not be recorded to the disc, or data on the disc may be damaged. “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” (“SYS WRITE” on the recorder) flashes while the editing results are being recorded.

While “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” (“SYS WRITE” on the recorder) is flashing, the lid becomes locked.
