Erase

The ability to erase sound without having to re-record is a convenient function of MD. You can erase the entire disc, a single track, or just part of a track.

Disc erase

This operation lets you erase all audio and title (character) data to create a blank MD. Please note that once erased, this data can be recovered using the UNDO function.

1 Press &to set this unit to stop mode.2 Press EDIT repeatedly to display “Disc Erase?”, then press SET/ENTER.•“DiscEraseOK?” appears in the display.3 Press SET/ENTER again.

•When all audio, name and title data has been erased “Complete” appears momentarily.

Track erase

This operation lets you erase a single track as well as corresponding title data. After you erase the track, the total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following that track are renumbered.
