Introducing MD Editing Functions
A recorded MD can be edited in many ways. The MD editing
functions include dividing, joining, moving, erasing single
tracks, erasing the entire disc, and more than one of them
can be combined as required.
Dividing a track (DIVIDE) : Page 20
This function divides a track by adding a track marking(s)
in the desired point(s) in the middle or where you want to
search later.
Joining a track (JOIN) : Page 21
This function joins two adjacent tracks into a single track
by deleting a track marking.
Moving a track (MOVE) : Page 22
This function moves a track by reordering the track numbers.
Erasing a track (ERASE) : Page 22
This function erases specified tracks. After the erasure, the
subsequent tracks are justified and their track numbers are
decremented automatically.
Erasing all tracks (ALL ERASE) : Page 23
This function erases data in a disc entirely.
Erasing a Portion of a Track
By combining “DIVIDE,” “ERASE,” and “JOIN,” for
example, it is possible to erase only a part of an existing
track.
You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks
(See page 24).
You can also assign titles to MDs and tracks (see
page 24). A title can be assigned to a track or disc.
Once a title is assigned, it is displayed in later
playback for confirmation.
Each title can be composed of up to 64 characters
(digits), and can be input using alphabetic
characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and
numerals.
If “PLAYBACK DISC” or “DISC PROTECTED”
appears when you try to edit an MD
You cannot edit such MDs. See page 30.
