of the loop is the point at which you want to divide the track.

NOTE

You can set the length of the jog loop in the menu system (see 3.5, "Jog loop length").

5When the start of the jog loop is correctly posi- tioned, turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise. The display shows Now Editing, and Complete when the editing operation has finished.

The track title of the first track created by the divi- sion process will have the same title as the original track (before the division took place). The second track will be untitled.

NOTE

If the divide point is set to a track boundary (the start of a track), the display will show an error message (Not Execute!) when the SHUTTLE wheel is turned in step 4 above.

5.3 Erasing a track

This operation erases a track and frees the space for further recording.

Before this edit operation, the tracks and numbers look like:

Track number

1 2 3 4

This track is to be erased

After the operation, the tracks and numbers look like:

Track number

1 2 3

Note that the tracks following the erased tracks are automatically renumbered, so that the numbering sequence is contiguous.

Tracks can be erased while the MD-801 is stopped, or in play, or in play ready mode.

1Set the playback position at the track to be erased (use the TRACK keys or any other con- venient way of locating to the track).

2After pressing the EDIT key, turn the DATA dial until the display shows:

ERASE TRK ?

3Turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise to change the display:

Track OK ?

4If you want to change the track to be erased at this stage, you can use the TRACK keys to change the current track.

5Turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise to erase the track. The display shows Now Editing, and Complete when the erase operation is finished.

5.4Combining tracks

This editing function allows you to combine a track with the previous track. It is not possible to combine two non-adjacent tracks (but you can move such tracks and then combine them—see 5.5, "Moving tracks").

Before the combine operation, the tracks and num- bers look like:

Track number		The playback position is here
1	2	3	4

These tracks are to be combined

After the combine operation, they look like:

Track number

1 2 3

Note that the following tracks are renumbered to pro- vide a contiguous sequence.

1Use the TRACK keys, or any other convenient method, to select the second track of the pair to be combined (the selected track will be com- bined with the one before it).

2After pressing the EDIT key, turn the DATA dial until the display shows:

COMBINE ?
