the Track Erase function.

4. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows Erase EXE?
5. Press the [ENTER] button to proceed or the [CLEAR] button to cancel.
Tracks are erased at normal play speed. So erasing a four-minute track, for example, takes 4 min-
utes. You can abort the track erase operation at anytime by pressing the [STOP] button.
Erasing Songs
The Song Erase function allows you to erase individual songs or all songs together. Erasing all
songs formats a disc. A disc that has been used to store computer data must be formatted using
this function before it can be used with MD4.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button and use the [√] and [®] SELECT buttons to select
the Song Erase function.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows SongXNo.XX1
3. Use the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to select a single song or ALL.
For example: SongXNo.XX3
4. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows Erase EXE?
5. Press the [ENTER] button to proceed or the [CLEAR] button to cancel.
The selected song is erased and subsequent songs are renumbered. Writing UTOC appears
on the display as the TOC is updated.
The erased area becomes a recordable blank area. However, you cannot use that area for record-
ing until it becomes the largest blank area, since only the largest blank area can be used for
recording.
