Yamaha MCX-2000 setup guide Deleting the PCM Data

5When the above procedure is finished, select Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Artists for the artist list view screen. Notice that the ‘previous’ artists, Jazzy Rocks, Jazzy Pops and Pop Rockers, have no associated albums or songs.

Empty — album and song counts are zero (0)

If you have no plan to add songs for these artists, you can delete them one at a time using the Delete this Artist command from the Submenu. Select OK in a confirmation dialog box that appears, and the selected artist is deleted from the list view.

Next, check the ‘previous’ genres, Rock and Pop, in the genre list view by selecting Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Genres. Notice that Rock is empty, but Pop still has albums from other artists. You can delete Rock using the Delete this Genre command from the Submenu; but if deleting Pop, you will lose other artists’ albums and songs.

Here, we’ve shown the general concepts of editing your MCX-2000 music archive. Proper use of the Submenu commands such as New, Change and Delete (...) help you re-organize your music collection.

nAdditional Submenu commands, Change Song Order and CDDB Info, are available from the song list view of the “VB Works” album that you’ve recently created. Though you can arrange the song order using the Change Song Order command, the CDDB Info command doesn’t work any longer because VB Works is your own ‘private’ album.

Deleting the PCM Data

When you record or import CD songs or other audio, the MCX-2000 normally stores them both in PCM and MP3 formats (factory setting), since the unit currently supports original CD creation by compiling PCM song data. If you have no plan to create your original CD and want to save the space on the built-in hard drive, you can use a recording option (page 96) to set the MCX-2000 to import songs only in MP3 format. Keep in mind, however, that this setting change doesn’t apply to existing songs (their PCM data still remains). In other cases, you may need PCM data for songs recorded from old analog tape, but not for CD songs. To ensure flexibility for all these requirements, the MCX-2000 lets you delete PCM data for each song individually.

1Open a song list view screen.

nIf you want to delete PCM data for songs from a specific album, open its song list view from Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Albums. If you want to delete PCM data for any selected songs, open its song list view from Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > All Songs.

2If necessary, confirm which song has both PCM and MP3 data. Move the selection (highlight) to a target song, and then select the Information command from the Submenu.

Both PCM and MP3 data are stored
