The MD deck lets you erase unwanted tracks 
quickly and easily.
The three options for erasing recordings are:
Erasing a single track (Track Erase Function)
Erasing all tracks (All Erase Function)
Erasing a portion of a track (A-B Erase 
Function)
Erasing a single track
— Track Erase Function
You can erase a track simply by selecting its 
track number. When you erase a track, the total 
number of tracks on the MD decreases by one 
and all the tracks following the erased one are 
renumbered.
Example: Erasing track 2.
1
While the deck is stopped, playing, or 
paused, press MENU/NO.
“Edit Menu” appears in the display.
2
Turn AMS (or press 
./>
 
repeatedly) until “Tr Erase?” appears, 
then press AMS or YES.
The deck starts to play the track indicated by 
the number in the display.
3
Turn AMS (or press 
./>
 
repeatedly) until the track number you 
want to erase appears.
4
Press AMS or YES.
“Complete!” appears. The track following 
the erased track starts to play. If the erased 
track is the last one on the MD, the track 
preceding the erased track starts to play.
Tips
To avoid confusion when erasing more than one 
track, start erasing from the highest numbered track. 
This way you will avoid renumbering the tracks that 
you plan to erase.
If you erase all the tracks within a group, the group 
is also erased at the same time as all the tracks 
within that group.
Erasing all the tracks
— All Erase Function
Do the procedure below to erase all the tracks, 
track names, and disc name at once.
1
While the deck is stopped, playing, or 
paused, press MENU/NO.
“Edit Menu” appears in the display.
2
Turn AMS (or press 
./>
 
repeatedly) until “All Erase?” appears, 
then press AMS or YES.
“All Erase??” appears in the display.
3
Press AMS or YES.
“Complete!” appears.
Note
If you perform the above operations when the Group 
function is on, not only the tracks within the group, 
but all the tracks on the MD will be erased.
