Image of track deleting (QUICK ERASE)

While “WRITING” is displayed, do not apply shock
or vibration to the unit because information is
being written on the Mini Disc.

Execute the track erasure operation.

Eject the Mini Disc.

÷

It takes a while until the execution completes.

÷

If you execute an editing operation by mistake, the condition before
editing can be recovered by performing the 

“EDIT CANCEL”

 opera-

tion.

When “DISC ERROR” is displayed

÷

Once the 

“DISC ERROR”

 message has been displayed, the 

“ALL

ERASE”

 operation is possible but 

“EDIT CANCEL”

 operation is not

possible.

If “DISC ERROR” is displayed with a Mini Disc which has
been know to be normal, re-load the Mini Disc before pro-
ceeding to the ALL ERASE operation. This may makes it
possible to read the Mini Disc contents.
