Joining divided songs together (Song Combine)

Song Combine is an operation that joins two previously-divided songs to create a single song.

Note: Separately-recorded songs cannot be joined.

1.Press the EDIT button, rotate the DATA dial to make the display read “Song Combn,” and press the ENTER button.

The display will indicate the numbers of the two songs that are to be joined.

Song numbers to join

2.Rotate the DATA dial to select the songs that will be joined.

To join songs 3 and 4, select “Cmbn 3+4.” If the display indicates “Cmbn *+*” the Song Com- bine operation cannot be executed.

3.Press the ENTER button.

The display will ask “Cmbn EXE?” If you decide to cancel the Song Combine operation at this point, press the EXIT button.

4.Press the ENTER button once again to execute the Song Combine operation.

After the songs have been combined, the TOC will automatically be updated.

If markers have been placed in the two songs being joined, the marker locations will remain in the newly-joined song. (Marker numbers will be updated automatically.) However since the point at which the songs were joined will be inserted as a new marker, the total number of markers in the song will be one more than the total number of markers in the two songs.
