Editing recorded tracks

Before editing

Notes

•When you edit the contents of a 1GB Hi-MD disc, connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder, charge the rechargeable battery fully

(battery level indication shows ), or use a new alkaline dry battery (battery level

indication shows ). When you attempt to edit on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, “NOT ENOUGH 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.

•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 displayed. 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” is displayed while the editing results are being recorded.

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

Adding titles (Title Input)

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

Some features depend on the model, such as the number of characters that can be input and the character palette on the recorder. Refer to the following items to verify what input characters are supported, the maximum number of characters that can be input and the character palette.
