Playing 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 the order of high to low track
numbers to prevent the renumbering of tracks that have
not been erased yet.
Example: Erasing B
1 While the recorder is stopped or during playback
pause, press EDIT/NO to display “Edit Menu.”
2 Turn AMS until “Erase?” appears in the display,
then press AMS.
3 Turn AMS until the track number you want to
erase appears in the display.
4 Press AMS or YES.
When the track selected in Step 3 has been
erased, “Complete” appears for a few seconds
and the total number of tracks in the music
calendar decreases by one.
5 Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to erase more tracks.
To cancel the Erase Function
Press EDIT/NO or p.
Note
If “Erase???”appears in the display, the track was recorded
or edited on another MD recorder and is record-protected.
If this indication appears, press YES to erase the track.

Erasing all tracks on an MD
You can delete the disc name, all recorded tracks, and
titles of the recordable MD at once.

display.
3 Press AMS or YES.
“All Erase??” appears and all tracks in the music
calendar start flashing.
4 Press AMS or 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 p and “All Erase?” or “All Erase??”
disappears.
You can undo the Erase Function
See “Undoing the Last Edit” on page 27.
