Erasing a portion of a track (A-B Erase)

erased appears, then press AMS or YES.
“-Rehearsal-“ and “Point A ok?” alternate in the
display and the recorder repeatedly plays the portion
of the track from the point where AMS or YES was
pressed.

the portion to be erased (point A).
The position is moved one frame* (f) at a time (one
frame = 1/86 sec.).

move two frames at a time; LP4 stereo tracks move
four frames at a time.
To quickly choose point A

“Point B set” appears, and playback from point A
begins.

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.

“Complete!” appears for a few seconds, and the
portion between A and B is erased.
To cancel the operation

Note
When “Impossible” is displayed, the portion of the track
cannot be erased.
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.
