Editing Recorded MDs
Erasing Recordings (Erase
Function)
Do the procedures below to erase following:
• A single track (Tr Erase)
• All tracks (All Erase)
Erasing a single track (Tr Erase)
You can erase a track simply by specifying the
respective track number.  When you erase a track, the
total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and
all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.
Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need
to record over material.
z
To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks,
you should proceed in order of high to low track
number to prevent the renumbering of tracks that
have not been erased yet.
Example:  Erasing B

consecutive tracks into one.

you want.

Note
Be sure to use the controls for the deck containing the MD
you want to edit.  When using the remote, press DECK A or
DECK B to select the deck to be operated.
If “Protected” and “Cannot Edit” appear in the
display
The deck could not edit because the record-protect slot
on the MD is open.  Edit after closing the slot.
When “TOC” and “TOC Writing” appear in the
display
Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord.
After editing, “TOC” lights continuously until you
eject the MD or turn off the deck.  “TOC” and “TOC
Writing” appear while the deck is updating the TOC.
When the deck finishes updating the TOC, “TOC” goes
off.
