Editing Recorded MDs 4 While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find the starting point of the portion to be erased (point A). You can shift the starting point by 1-frame* (f) intervals (1 frame = 1/86 second). To shift the point by minute or second intervals, press 0 or ) so that minute or second flashes. * When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift the starting point by 2-frame intervals (in LP2 Stereo mode) or by 4-frame intervals (in LP4 Stereo mode). 5 If point A is still incorrect, repeat Step 4 until it is correct. 6 Press AMS or YES if point A is correct. "Point B set" appears in the display and playback for setting the end point of the portion to be erased (point B) starts. 7 Continue playback (or press 0 or )) until the deck reaches point B, then press AMS or YES. "A-B Ers" and "Point B ok?" alternate in the display while the deck repeats a portion of a few seconds before point A and after point B successively. 8 Repeat Step 4 if point B is not correct. 9 Press AMS or YES when point B is correct. "Complete!" appears for a few seconds and the portion between point A and B is erased. To cancel the A-B Erase Function Press MENU/NO or p. z You can undo the A-B Erase Function Use the Undo Function immediately after you erased the part of the track (see page 37). Note If "Impossible" appears in the display, the specified portion cannot be erased. This sometimes happens when you've edited the same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, not a mechanical error. Dividing Recorded Tracks (Divide Function) With the Divide Function you can mark a track number at places that you want to randomly access afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into multiple portions for locating positions in the middle of a track. When you divide a track, the total number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are renumbered. Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C Track number Divide Track 2 is divided and a new track is created for C MENU/NO YES AMS 0/) Dividing a track after selecting the track 1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or pausing, press MENU/NO to display "Edit Menu." 2 Turn AMS until "Divide?" appears in the display, then press AMS or YES. 3 Turn AMS to select the track to be divided and press AMS or YES. "-Rehearsal-" appears and the portion to be divided is played repeatedly. 30
