Editing Recorded MDs
Erasing a single track
You can erase a track simply by specifying the
respective track number. When you erase a track, the
total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and
all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.
Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need
to record over material.
To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks, you
should proceed in order of high to low track number to
prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not been
erased yet.
Example: Erasing 6
12 3 4 Track

1 Turn AMS until the track number you want to
erase appears in the display.
2 Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "Erase ?"
appears in the display.
The track number you selected starts flashing in
the music calendar. ^
3 Press YES.
When the track selected in Step 1 has been
erased, "Complete" appears for a few seconds
and the total number of tracks in the music
calendar decreases by one.
If you erase a track during playback, the track
following the deleted track begins playing
afterwards.
4 Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to erase more tracks.
To cancel the Erase Function
Press EDIT/NO, ■, or turn AMS to change the track
number.
Note
If "Erase!! /"appears in the display, the track was recorded
or edited on another MD deck and is record-protected.
If this indication appears, press YES to erase the track.
Erasing all tracks on an MD
Erasing a recordable MD deletes the disc name, all
recorded tracks, and titles (see page 27).
1 While the deck is stopped, press EDIT /NO
repeatedly until "All Erase ?" appears in the
display.
2 Press YES.
All tracks in the music calendar start flashing.
3 Press YES again.
When the disc name, all recorded tracks, and titles
on the MD have been erased, "Complete" appears
for a few seconds and the music calendar
disappears.
To cancel the Erase Function
Press EDIT/NO or ■.
Erasing a part of a track
By using the Divide (see page 22), Erase (see page 20)
and Combine (see page 23) Eunctions, you can erase
