Choose some

tracks

. A box appears...

Press the              or              menu soft keys as required
to select a track for copying.

Imagine you want to copy tracks 3, 14, 9 and 11. 
To select the first track

Repeat the process to

The finished CD is “unfixed” to allow further
copying if required.

Adding tracks at a later date or time

Copying to a partially completed “unfixed” CD? The only
difference is that when you select 

Choose tracks

the

dialogue box looks slightly different.

In the example shown here an 
unfixed CD-R has been inserted. 
It already has seven tracks on it - 
so the first available track for recording will be track eight!

Editing Selections

Once you have selected tracks for copying, you can 

delete

,

insert

or 

change

selections before copying takes place.

You can use the      and      keys to move backwards and
forwards through the selected tracks.

In the example shown here
track 03 is to be deleted 
and track 12 is to be inserted
between tracks 04 and 05.

Deleting Tracks

By pressing the       key, the cursor moves back to track 03. 
As this happens, the menu soft keys change. To remove
track 03, press              . The track instantly disappears. 

Inserting Tracks

Pressing the      key again moves the cursor back to track 05.

Press              to show new key options and select            . 
This will open a gap...

... to select track 12 using the               and               keys. 

Changing Tracks 

You can also change existing track selections.

In the example shown here track 
05 is to be replaced by track 07.

Again, you can use the     and      keys to move backwards
and forwards through the selected tracks.

Press the             key, followed by the             key. Then
use the             key to select track 07.

Select             when editing is complete. Copying will begin
immediately.
