EDITING

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

Edit functions

This unit offers the following editing operations.

(Please note that track numbers are updated automatically when you perform a MOVE, ERASE, COMBINE or DIVIDE operation.)

MOVE

Lets you move a track to a different track number.

ERASE

Lets you erase a track, the entire disc, or part of a track.

COMBINE

Lets you combine two adjacent tracks.

DIVIDE

Lets you split a single track into two different tracks.

UNDO

Lets you undo the previous edit operation if you make a mistake (you cannot, however, undo the undo).

Note

After performing an edit operation, the TOC indicator lights up to show that the TOC information has not yet been written to the disc. Undo is possible only when the TOC indicator is lit. However, if you perform a recording operation (by pressing REC, TIME, or SYNC), undo is not possible even if the TOC indicator is lit.

MOVE

This function lets you change the position of any track. First, you select the track you want to move, then you specify the track number you want to move it to. After the move, the tracks located between the old and new positions are renumbered automatically. You can perform this operation repeatedly to completely reorder the disc.
