A recorded MD can be edited in many ways. The MD editing functions include dividing, joining, moving, erasing a single
track, erasing the entire disc, and more than one of them can be combined as required.
• MD editing is only possible on MD deck B.

Erasing all tracks (ALL ERASE) : Page 43
This function erases data in a disc entirely.
Erasing a Portion of a Track
By combining “DIVIDE”, “ERASE” and “JOIN”, for
example, it is possible to erase only a part of an existing
track.
If “PLAY BACK” or “DISC PROTECTED”
appears when you try to edit an MD
You cannot edit such MDs. See page 57.
You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks
(See page 44.)
A title can be assigned to a track or disc. Once a title is assigned,
it is displayed in later playback for confirmation.
Each title can be composed of up to 64 characters, and can be
input using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase),
symbols and numerals.
