Note
If “Impossible” is displayed, the track cannot be divided.
This may occur if one of the tracks has been edited many times.
This is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, it is not a
mechanical error.
After recording, you can divide a track in two by marking
a new track number at any point you want to access. This
is especially useful when you record from an analog
source (etc.) and several songs are recorded as a single
track number, or when you want access to a certain point
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
automatically.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create individual track numbers
for B and C.
1
During stop, play, or pause mode, press EDIT/NO to
display the Edit Menu.

Turn AMS to display “Divide ?”, then press AMS.
