<Notes for the erase function>
• When all eight tracks (1 through 8) are recorded, if you
erase a part of the chosen track, only the erased part
becomes silent (no audio) and the following material
does not move advance to fill the gap.
Therefore, the REC END point remains the same.
However, if you erase a part between the chosen point
(=Start point) and the REC END point (=End point) of
all tracks, the REC END point moves advance.
• The erase operations are performed on the current
program. Therefore, do not change the current pro
gram until all the operations are completed.
