Editing recorded tracks

Before editing

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

Notes

•When you edit the contents of a 1GB Hi-MD disc, use a new alkaline dry battery (battery

level indication shows ) or connect the optional AC power adaptor to the recorder. When you attempt to edit on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, “NotENOUGH POWER TO EDIT” may appear and editing cannot be done even if the battery level indication shows sufficient remaining power while the recorder is stopped or playing. This is because of a mechanism that disables editing when the remaining battery power is estimated by the recorder to be insufficient due to the high power consumption required for 1GB Hi-MD disc editing.

•Before making an editing while using the optional AC power adaptor, always insert a new alkaline dry battery into the recorder first to ensure that the editing operation completes successfully.

•Premastered discs cannot be edited.

•Close the record-protect tab on the side of the disc before editing

•Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while editing or “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” 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” flashes while the editing results are being recorded.

•While “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” is flashing, the lid becomes locked.

Adding titles (Title)

You can add titles to tracks, groups and discs. You can add artist names and album names to tracks on a disc used in Hi-MD mode.

1)European alphabets appear only for discs used in Hi-MD mode.

2)The available symbols will differ for Hi-MD mode and MD mode (see “About the character palette” on page 41).

Maximum number of characters per name

Track names, group names, and disc name: Approx. 200 each (containing a mixture of all available characters)

Maximum number of characters that can be input per discIn Hi-MD mode:A maximum of about 55,000 characters In MD mode:A maximum of about 1,700 characters

The number of titles that can be stored on a disc depends on the number of characters that are input for track names, group names, artist names, album names and disc name.
