The Erase function (“Erase”)
When erasing a track or a group
Note that once a recorded item has been
erased, it cannot be recovered. Make sure
to confirm the contents of the selected item
before erasing it.
When erasing tracks that have been
transferred from the computer
When you try to erase tracks that have been
transferred from the computer, “TRACK
FROM PC” and “ERASE OK?” appear in the
display. If you erased tracks that have been
transferred from the computer, the transfer
authorization of the tracks will be as follows.
• If the tracks were transferred in Hi-MD
mode, the transfer authorization of the
tracks are restored automatically when you
insert the disc into the recorder and then
connect the recorder to the computer.
• If the tracks were transferred in MD mode,
the transfer authorization of the tracks is
lost. If you do not want to lose the transfer
authorization, restore the authorization by
transferring the tracks to the computer again
before erasing them.
To erase a part of a track
Add track marks at the beginning and the end
of the part you want to erase, then erase the
part ( page 47).
Notes
• You cannot use the “Erase” function to delete non-
audio data (for example, text data or image data)
on a disc used in Hi-MD mode.
• When all tracks in a group are deleted using the
“Track Erase” function, that group is automatically
deleted from the disc.
The Format function (“Format”)
When formatting a disc
When a disc is formatted, the number of
transfer authorizations for the transferred
tracks is affected as follows.
• For 1GB Hi-MD discs, the number of
transfer authorizations for the transferred
tracks is restored when the disc is inserted
and the recorder is connected to the
computer.
• For 60/74/80-minute standard discs, the
number of transfer authorizations for
transferred tracks decreases by one. To
prevent the reduction, restore the transfer
authorization by transferring the tracks to
the computer again before formatting the
disc.
Note
By formatting a disc, all data (including non-audio
data) will be erased. If you think a disc contains such
data, insert the disc into the recorder and connect
the recorder to the computer to check the contents
of the disc.
