Editing Recorded MDs
Combining Recorded Tracks
(Combine Function)
Use the Combine Function while the deck is stopped,
playing or in pause to combine consecutive tracks on a
recorded MD. This function is useful for combining
several songs into a single medley, or several
independently recorded portions into a single track.
When you combine two tracks, the total number of
tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the
combined tracks are renumbered.
Example: Combining B and C
1 Turn AMS until the second track of the two to be
combined appears.
For example, when combining tracks 3 and 4, turn
AMS until 4 appears.
2 Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until “Combine ?”
appears in the display.
3 Press YES.
“Rehearsal“ alternates with “Track ok?“ in the
display. The place where the two tracks will join
(i.e., the end of the first track and the beginning of
the second track) repeatedly plays back and the
respective track number flashes in the music
calendar.
4 If the track is the wrong one, press EDIT/NO or
p, then start from Step 1 again.
5 While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find the
starting position of the new track.
The starting portion of the new track is played
back repeatedly.
“Rehearsal“ alternates with “Position ok?“ in the
display.
The starting position can be moved within a
maximum range of –128 to +127 steps of about
0.06 second each within a track.
6 If the starting position is still incorrect, repeat
Step 5 until it is correct.
7 Press YES or AMS when the position is correct.
When the track has been divided, “Complete”
appears for a few seconds and the newly created
track begins playing. The new track will have no
track title even if the original track was labeled.
To cancel the Divide Function

z You can undo the Divide Function
Use the Undo Function immediately after you divided
the track (see page 23).
