Editing and titling MD

Editing an MD

One of the main advantages of MD is its editing capabilities, you can remove the commercials from a radio broadcast, arrange songs into the order you want, remove songs, combine songs, even remove part of a song.

The MD recorder offers the following editing functions.

•Erase

Lets you erase a track, the entire disc, or part of a track. You can also erase the title of a disc, or the titles of tracks on a disc.

•Move

Lets you move a track to a different track number.

•Combine

Lets you combine two adjacent tracks.

Notes on editing

Before editing

Make sure that the MD is not protected against erasure. If the MD is protected, you cannot edit the MD. Slide the tab to close the slot on the side of the MD.

After editing

Use the TOC Write function, or press and pull the MD out in order to update the TOC information.

Note

After performing an editing operation, “TOC” (9) lights up on the display to show that the TOC information has not yet been written to the disc. Undo is possible only when “TOC” (9) is illuminated.

•Divide

Lets you split a single track into two different tracks.

•TOC Write

Lets you write TOC information to the disc so that changes are saved.

•FRA Check

Lets you recover disc space that may have been lost after repeated editing operations.

•Undo

Lets you undo the previous editing operation if you make a mistake.
