Editing the contents of an MD
The MD-2321 features various editing functions that enable
you to erase tracks, divide or combine tracks, and move a
track to a new location on the disc.
Note that you cannot edit the contents of premastered MDs.
Also, you cannot edit the disc if its record-protect slot is open
(i.e., “Protected” is displayed).
Before starting the editing procedure, close the slot. (See
page 18.)
Perform the following steps to erase a track
while the unit is stopped or paused.
1. Turn the AMCS knob until the track
number you want to erase is dis-
played.
2. Press the EDIT/NO button several
times until “Erase?” appears on the
display.
•
To cancel the operation...
Press the EDIT/NO button again, or
press the
■
STOP button.
3. Press the YES button.
The selected track is erased. When the
track is erased, “Complete” appears on
the display.
•
When a track is erased, the subsequent
track numbers advance. For example, if
you erase track 2, track 3 is renumbered
as track 2; track 4 is renumbered as
track 3, and so on.
Note:
While the TOC indicator is lit or flashing,
do not move or unplug the MD recorder.
To erase all tracks on an MD...
1. Press the
■
STOP button.
2. Press the EDIT/NO button several times
until “All Erase?” appears on the display.
To cancel the operation, press the
EDIT/NO button or the
■
STOP button.
3. Press the YES button. “All Erase??”
appears for confirmation.
The track number flashes on the display.
4. Press the YES button again.
When all tracks on the MD are erased,
“Complete” followed by “Blank Disc”
appears on the display.
Note:
•
To erase part of a track, first divide the
track into parts, then erase the part. (See
page 21 for more information on how to
divide tracks.)

While the TOC indicator is lit or flash-
ing, do not move or unplug the MD
