3Select the Delete PCM data from the Submenu. A dialog box appears, where you can specify target songs.

Delete PCM Data dialog box

4Move the selection (highlight) to a song whose PCM data you want to delete, and add a check mark by pressing the SELECT button on the remote control. You can remove the mark by pressing the SELECT button again, if you want to keep the song’s PCM data.

5After you’ve selected or deselected songs, press the right arrow button on the remote control (like when you open the Submenu) and select OK. When a confirmation dialog box appears, select OK if you’re sure.

6A progress bar appears with a “Please wait a moment” message. When the deleting operation is finished, you return to the song list view. If you like, use the Information command from the Submenu to confirm PCM data for the specified songs has been deleted.

Now, only MP3 data is stored

Other Song Delete Options

You can selectively delete PCM song data in the above procedure. If you want to delete all existing PCM song data at a time, go to the Library menu screen (Top Menu > Library). When you move the selection (highlight) to Music Archive, the relevant Submenu commands become available.

Select the Delete all PCM data command for this purpose. Select OK in a confirming dialog box that appears, and the MCX-2000 will delete all PCM song data. In addition, you can delete all existing songs from the music archive using the Delete all Songs command. It lets you delete both PCM and MP3 data for all archived songs at a time—useful if you want to renovate the music archive with a completely new set of songs or a different MP3 data rate setting (page 96).

You can also use the Delete Songs command that’s available from the Submenu in a song list view screen, to delete both PCM and MP3 data for one or more songs in the current song list. Using a similar interface when you import songs from a music CD (page 66), you can select or deselect target songs by adding or removing the check mark using the SELECT button on the remote control, or using the Select all or Cancel all commands from a ‘mini’ Submenu. Finally select OK from the ‘mini’ Submenu. Selected songs will be deleted from the music archive right away.
