6 – After recording

Erasing tracks

It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks, etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the “middle” of the disc.

CAUTION

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are recordings that you really want to erase!

NOTE

To operat this function, the unit should be in Continue mode. The function cannot to be used when playback mode is Single, Random or Program. If erasing is attempted in such modes, Cannot ERASE! will be displayed.

1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the ERASE key.

2If the display does not show ERASE XX-XX?, where XX-XXis the number of the last track recorded on the disc, turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys until it is displayed.

3Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the number of the first track to be erased. The highest value that this number can take is the last track recorded (for example, if 17 tracks have

been recorded on the disc, 17-17 means that the last track only, number 17, will be erased). The lowest value that this number can take is 2 (if this number was 1, the whole disc would be erased, as described below). If you do not want to proceed with the erase operation, press the ERASE key or STOP key.

NOTE

If only one track has been recorded on the disc, only the “erase disc” option (see “Erasing a whole disc” on page 28) is available.

4When the range of tracks to be erased has been selected, press the MULTI DIAL or the ENTER key.

If the erase operation has been selected, the word ERASE flashes on the display, and the timer starts counting down.

At the end of the countdown period, the word Complete appears briefly on the display, and the display returns to the track/time display.

Erasing a whole disc

When you want to erase a whole disc (all the tracks on a disc), follow the procedure below:

1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the ERASE key.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys until the display shows ERASE DISC?.

If you do not want to proceed with the erase opera- tion, press the ERASE key or STOP key.

3To erase the contents of the disc, press the MULTI DIAL or the ENTER key.

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings that you really want to erase!

If the erase operation has been selected, the word ERASEflashes on the display, and the timer starts counting down a time value shown on the display.

At the end of the countdown period, the word Completeappears briefly on the display, and the display returns to the track/time display.

Refreshing a disc

If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g. power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize opera- tion, etc.), or has been used in a computer or another piece of equipment that makes it unreadable, it is possible to “refresh” the disc to make it usable again.

1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the ERASE key.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys until the display shows DISC REFRESH?.

3To refresh the disc, press the MULTI DIAL or the EN- TER key.

If you do not want to proceed with the refresh op- eration, press the ERASE key or STOP key.

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to refresh a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings that you really want to erase!

If the refresh operation has been selected, the words ERASE XX:XXare shown on the display, and the timer starts counting down.

At the end of the countdown period, the word Complete appears briefly on the display, and the display returns to the track/time display (of course, there are no tracks, and the disc is at the start, with the total time of the disc available for recording).
