Editing Recorded MDs
Erasing a Portion of a Track
(A-B Erase Function)
You can easily erase a portion of a track by specifying
the starting and ending points of the portion.
This function is useful for erasing unnecessary portions
on an MD that you recorded from satellite or FM
broadcasts.
Example: Erasing a portion of track A
1 While playing a disc, press fl (or P) at the
starting point (point A) of the portion to be
erased.
2 Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until “A-B Erase ?”
appears in the display.
3
Press YES.
“Rehearsal” alternates with “Point A ok?” in the
display and the starting point A of the portion to
be erased plays back repeatedly.
4
If point A is incorrect, press EDIT/NO. (If it is
correct, go to Step 7.)
5
While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find
point A.
“Rehearsal” alternates with “Point A ok?” in the
display and point A is played back repeatedly.
Point A can be moved within a maximum range
of –128 to +127 steps of about 0.06 second each
within a track.
6
If point A is still incorrect, repeat Step 5 until it is
correct.
