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.
Example: Erasing track 3
1 Use $ or › to select the track you want to
erase.
2
Press EDIT repeatedly to display “Erase ?”,
then press SET/ENTER .
“(track number) Erase OK?” appears in the display.
3
Press SET/ENTER again.
The track is erased and “Complete” appears momentarily.
If you plan to erase two or more tracks
To avoid confusion you should always erase from higher track
numbers to lower track numbers. This prevents accidental
renumbering of tracks you plan to erase.
