Organizing the songs you’ve recorded
Saving memory on the
memory card (Song Optimize)
When you perform overdubbing or punch-in/out, the data
that you rewrite (replace) actually remains on the memory
card. In some cases, this unwanted data may occupy a
significant amount of space on the memory card. This will
cause the time available for recording to be less than it
should be.
By performing a “Song Optimize,” you can have the BR-864
erase any unnecessary data on the memory card and increase
the unused space.

4. To continue with the optimization, press [ENTER]
(YES).
The Song Optimize function is carried out. When
completed, “Completed!” appears in the display, and
you are returned to the Play screen.
To cancel the operation press the [EXIT] (NO) (or
[UTILITY]).
* Depending on the situation, an appreciable length of time may
be required for Optimize to be completed. This is not a
malfunction. Do not turn off the power until Optimize has
completed.
* After you execute Optimize, it is not possible to undo/redo to
revert to the state before executing Optimize.
Naming songs (Song Name)
When a new song is created, it is automatically given a name
such as “SONG 0001.” With your BR-864, you can use “Song
Name” to give each song a name, which helps you manage
and organize your songs.
