Notes
• This operation is not possible when track 1 is selected.
• You can also divide the track later using the DIVIDE function.
• If “Can’t Edit” appears in the display the tracks cannot be
combined. This sometimes happens when you have edited
the same track many times. This is due to the technical
limitations of the MD system and is not a mechanical error or
malfunction.
