The Erase function (“Erase”)

When erasing a track or a group Note that once a recorded item has been erased, it cannot be recovered. Make sure to confirm the contents of the selected item before erasing it.

When erasing tracks that have been transferred from the computer When you try to erase tracks that have been transferred from the computer, “TRACK FROM PC” and “ERASE OK?” appear in the display. If you erased tracks that have been transferred from the computer, the transfer authorization of the tracks will be as follows.

If the tracks were transferred in Hi-MD mode, the transfer authorization of the tracks are restored automatically when you insert the disc into the recorder and then connect the recorder to the computer.

If the tracks were transferred in MD mode, the transfer authorization of the tracks is lost. If you do not want to lose the transfer authorization, restore the authorization by transferring the tracks to the computer again before erasing them.

To erase a part of a track

Add track marks at the beginning and the end of the part you want to erase, then erase the part (page 47).

Notes

You cannot use the “Erase” function to delete non- audio data (for example, text data or image data) on a disc used in Hi-MD mode.

When all tracks in a group are deleted using the “Track Erase” function, that group is automatically deleted from the disc.

The Format function (“Format”)When formatting a disc

When a disc is formatted, the number of transfer authorizations for the transferred tracks is affected as follows.

For 1GB Hi-MD discs, the number of transfer authorizations for the transferred tracks is restored when the disc is inserted and the recorder is connected to the computer.

For 60/74/80-minute standard discs, the number of transfer authorizations for transferred tracks decreases by one. To prevent the reduction, restore the transfer authorization by transferring the tracks to the computer again before formatting the disc.

Note

By formatting a disc, all data (including non-audio data) will be erased. If you think a disc contains such data, insert the disc into the recorder and connect the recorder to the computer to check the contents of the disc.
