This is useful for erasing the unnecessary portions of a
track recorded from a satellite or FM broadcast.

Turn AMS (or press l◄◄/►►^ repeatedly) until "A-B

Turn AMS (or press repeatedly) until the
number of the track containing the portion to be
erased flashes, then press AMS or YES.
"-Rehearsal-" and "Point A ok?" alternate in the
display and the deck plays the first several seconds of
the track repeatedly.
While monitoring the sound, turn AMS (or press

the portion to be erased (point A).
The time indication ("m (minute)," "s (second)," and
"f (frame = 1/86 second)") of the current point is
displayed and several seconds of the track from that
point play back repeatedly.
To find a point quickly
Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the
MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press /
►W repeatedly).
To do this, press ◄◄ / ►► in step 4 repeatedly to select
"m," "s," or "f." The selected unit flashes in the
display.
Repeat step 4 until you've located point A.

"Point B set" appears and several seconds of the track
from point A play back repeatedly.
7 Continue playing the track or press ►► to locate
the ending point of the portion to be erased (point
B), then press AMS or YES.
"A-B Ers" and "Point B ok?" alternate in the display
and a few seconds of the track before point A and after
point B play back repeatedly.
8 Repeat step 4 until you've located point B.
9 Press AMS or YES to enter point B.
"Complete!!" appears for a few seconds and the
portion between point A and B is erased.
To cancel the operation
Press MENU/NO or ■.

Note
In the following cases, "Impossible" appears and you can't erase
a portion of a track:
• The point B you entered comes before point A.
• After repeated editing of a track, it may become impossible to
erase a portion of the track any further. This is a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
