Combining recorded tracks - Combine Function You can use this function to combine 2 tracks into a single track. The total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the combined ones are renumbered. You can also use this function to erase unnecessary track numbers. Example: Combining track 3 to track 1. Track number 1 2 3 4 Original tracks AB C D 1 After COMBINE A 2 3 CBD Example: Combining track 1 to track 4. 1 23 4 5 Original tracks ABC D 12 After COMBINE B C 3 D 4 A 1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO. "Edit Menu" appears in the display. 2 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until "Combine?" appears, then press AMS or YES. 3 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the first track of the two to be combined appears, then press AMS or YES. The display for selecting a second track appears and the deck plays the portion where joining will occur (the end of the first track and the beginning of the second track following it) repeatedly. 28 4 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the second track of the two to be combined appears, then press AMS or YES. "Complete!" appears and the deck starts to play the combined track. Notes • (MDS-JE770 only) When you combine two tracks that are registered into different groups, the second track is re-registered into the group containing the first track. In addition, if you combine a track that is registered to a group with a track that is not registered to a group, the second track takes the same registration setting as the first track. However, when the Group function is on, you can only combine tracks within the selected group. • Tracks recorded in different modes (stereo, MONO, LP2 or LP4) cannot be combined. • If both of the combined tracks have a track name, the name of the second track is erased. • If "Impossible" appears in the display, the tracks cannot be combined because repeated editing has been done to the track(s). This is a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error. Moving recorded tracks - Move Function You can use this function to change the order of any track on the disc. When you move tracks, the tracks are automatically renumbered. Example: Moving track 3 to position 2. Track number 1 23 Original tracks AB C 4 D 1 2 After MOVE A C 34 BD 1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO. "Edit Menu" appears in the display. 2 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until "Move?" appears, then press AMS or YES. 3 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until the number of the track to be moved appears, then press AMS or YES.
